Certified Gems:
Gem: 1
Lab: GIA
Certification #: 1236474640
Carat: 112.40
Shape: Octagonal
Type: Kunzite
Overall Condition: Excellent
Condition Notes: Kunzite is the pink or violet variety of spodumene. This pink example displays a deep pink hue, with minor nicks and abrasions visible under magnification, and is accompanied by a GIA report.
It was first identified in California in the early 20th century and named after famed gemologist George Frederick Kunz, who was instrumental in popularizing the stone. Valued for its delicate color, strong pleochroism, and sensitivity to light, kunzite displays notable brilliance but must be handled with care due to its perfect cleavage and tendency to fade with prolonged sunlight exposure.
