Kunzite in mineralogy

Kunzite forms from lithium- and aluminum-rich magma in pegmatites. It is a pale pink to lilac-pink variety of Spodumene (green-colored Spodumene is called Hiddenite) of the pyroxene group and inosilicate class, composed mainly of oxygen, silica, aluminum and lithium. Its color comes from lithium, iron and manganese.

It forms prismatic crystals with vertical striations. Kunzite crystals can reach several meters in length!

It is frequently irradiated or heated, so that even a colorless, pale or brownish Spodumene can take on a lilac-pink color and the appearance of Kunzite.

The main deposits are located in Madagascar, Afghanistan, Brazil and the United States.

The history of Kunzite

Kunzite was officially discovered and first described in California in 1902 by mineralogist George Kunz. It was named Kunzite in his honour.

From the mid-20ᵉ century onwards, Kunzite was in the spotlight in jewelry. Its gem-quality crystals are particularly sought-after and appeal for their tender lilac-pink color.

It was in the 1970s that it began to be studied in lithotherapy. Today, it is particularly appreciated for its comforting and calming properties.
