Kunzite is a perfect gemstone for your wife! So if you're looking for a special gift for a wedding anniversary or birthday , this gemstone is just right! The gemstone is used exclusively as a gemstone and is beautiful in its pink form. In the perfect combination with diamonds, it is still little known in Europe, but highly prized in the USA. It then rivals the diamond in its brilliance. What makes kunzite unmistakable is its ability to glow in the dark.

Perhaps somewhat atypically for gemstones, kunzite was named after its discoverer , George Frederick Kunz. The gemologist, or gemstone researcher, worked at Tiffany & Co. and discovered the gemstone in 1903 in Pala, California.

In addition to the typical pink color, there are two other varieties: hiddenite and triphane. Hiddenite is yellow-green, while triphane is yellow. This gemstone is very clear and often transparent. Kunzite is often completely colorless, sometimes dark purple. If manganese is present, the stone is pink. Deep pink varieties are particularly beautiful and valuable . At Tarboz, you will find kunzite in various pink shades.

Perhaps not surprisingly, the United States is the most famous for kunzite. There, it is mined primarily in places where tourmalines also occur. However, it has also been found in the Minas Gerais region of Brazil, known for its gemstones. Further deposits are found in Afghanistan and Madagascar.

Due to its very young history, the gemstone hasn't entered mythology. But that doesn't make it any less special.

If you're looking for a gemstone to accompany you through the transition from spring to summer , kunzite is perfect! It radiates brightly alongside the blooming plants in your garden. The stone is also said to strengthen empathy and increase tolerance toward our fellow human beings.

Kunzite is derived from the relatively rare mineral spodumene . This creates a rather feminine gemstone. This natural gemstone captivates with its incomparable color and stunning luster. Small inclusions are completely normal and do not affect the gemstone's purity.

Synthetic kunzite, which is actually a synthetic corundum , is commercially available. At Tarboz, you'll find only genuine kunzite crystals and rough stones suitable for collectors and jewelry.

Large kunzites are often found. At the National Museum of Natural History in Washington, DC, the famous Smithsonian Institution, you can see a heart-shaped kunzite that weighs a whopping 880 carats.

Take good care of your kunzite tumbled stone! Temperatures of 300 to 400 degrees Celsius are unlikely to be reached in everyday life, but even strong sunlight and artificial light can damage the gemstone and jewelry over extended periods. Rapid temperature changes cause it to quickly lose its color, and excessive pressure can cause the kunzite gemstone to split. This is why kunzite is also known as the "evening stone ." Therefore, it's best not to wear the stone every day and to protect it well from the sun. Some experts even say that kunzite gemstones should only be worn in the evening. Also, be careful that this beautiful pink gemstone doesn't receive any strong impacts!

Pink kunzite is perfect for jewelry, such as a gemstone pendant. Scissor or step cuts are often used to create stunning jewelry from pink kunzite. The stone radiates and shines so beautifully that it's often combined with diamonds in jewelry. However, the stone is very sensitive, especially when exposed to heat and pressure. Therefore, jewelry makers must proceed with great care. In jewelry, the stone is also often combined with opal or quartz. Due to its pink color, the stone is often associated with femininity and romance. For women, a great bracelet or pearl with the pink kunzite gemstone is surely a dream. At Tarboz, you'll find the perfect jewelry for you and your wife!
