Description
Beautiful pink color kunzite crystal with a self-healed quartz crystal from Alingar Pegmatite Field, Laghman Afghanistan.
Kunzite is a pink-violetish purple variety of the mineral spodumene, named after the gemologist George Frederick Kunz. It is a rare and beautiful gemstone that can be found in large sizes and clean crystals. Kunzite crystals often have a blade-like shape and complex terminations . Terminations are the ends of a crystal where the growth stops. Some kunzite crystals have multiple terminations, meaning they have more than one point or facet at the end. Multiple terminations can result from different growth conditions, such as changes in temperature, pressure, or chemistry. Multiple terminations can also create interesting optical effects, such as reflections or refractions of light. Kunzite crystals with multiple terminations are highly prized by collectors and jewelers for their unique beauty and rarity.
