 | " A big, fat GEM CRYSTAL of kunzite, perfectly terminated, complete all around and gemmy throughout! Of pastel lavender color, this impressive gem crystal weighs in at 155 grams! The termination is truly remarkable and sharp.
Kunzite is the pink variety of spodumene. Kunzite is strongly pleochroic, meaning there is a color intensity variation when a crystal is viewed from the top or bottom then from other directions. The top and bottom of the crystal reveal the deepest colors and knowleagable gem cutters take advantage of its effects. Due to kunzite's cleavage, splintery fracture and strong pleochroism it is considered a real gem cutters challenge. However, its lovely pink color makes kunzite an attractive and desirable gemstone."
