Kunzite is a beautiful and rare gemstone that belongs to the spodumene mineral family. It is known for its delicate and captivating pale pink to lilac colour, which is often associated with feelings of love, tenderness, and tranquillity.

Kunzite was named after George Frederick Kunz, an American mineralogist who first identified and catalogued the stone in the late 19th century. It is primarily found in Afghanistan, Brazil, and the United States, although new deposits have been discovered in other parts of the world.
