Additional Info

Kunzite is a light purple or violet variety of the Spodumene mineral family. It was named in honor of mineralogist George F. Kunz, who first identified it in 1902. More intense colors are considered most valuable.

Where to buy?
For Kunzite check what Amazon has to offer. You'll usually find quite a selection from many different vendors. Worth a check. For other high quality gemstones (Rubies, Saphhires, Emeralds) and especially Diamonds, I highly recommend JamesAllen.
