Kunzite, the pink-to-lavender variety of spodumene, is prized for its strong pleochroism, propensity for attractive crystal form, and its luminous, pastel hues. First identified by renowned gemologist George F. Kunz, this lithium-rich mineral exhibits a captivating interplay of color that shifts with the angle of light. This specimen showcases well-defined morphology with its sharply peaked termination. Its naturally striated surface accentuates its elongated form, further enhanced by fine luster. Perhaps its most striking feature is its cool lavender-pink hue, which, combined with its pleasing translucency, gives it an ethereal glow when illuminated. Reminiscent of modern glass art, it is a remarkable example of its kind.
