Description
This gorgeous pleochroic kunzite specimen displays soft blue to pale lilac hues in a naturally elongated, bladed crystal form. The crystal shows strong vertical striations and subtle internal translucency, with its color changing slightly depending on the angle of viewing. Under longwave UV light, the color transforms into a bright pink.
The surface remains natural and unpolished, preserving growth features and faint cleavage planes that speak to kunzite’s crystalline structure. Mounted for stability, the specimen presents cleanly from multiple angles, making it ideal for focused display.
Dimensions & Weight
Metaphysical Properties
Kunzite is often associated with gentleness, emotional openness, and calm awareness. Many collectors are drawn to its soothing color and serene visual energy rather than any overt flash.
Collector’s Notes
Kunzite is loved not only for its color in natural light, but also for its transformation under UV light. Collectors of pegmatite minerals, spodumene varieties, or pastel-toned cabinet specimens will appreciate its clarity of form and honest presentation.

Natural kunzite (spodumene) crystal
Soft lavender to pale pink coloration
