Geological Information

Kunzite is a pink to lilac-colored variety of the mineral spodumene. It was first discovered in 1902 in California by George Frederick Kunz, a famous mineralogist and gemologist who the stone is named after. Kunzite is often found in granite pegmatites with other lithium-rich minerals such as lepidolite and tourmaline and is known for its pleochroism, which means it displays different colors when viewed from different angles. Kunzite is typically pink to violet-pink in color and is often found as elongated prismatic crystals. It is sometimes heat-treated to enhance its color.
