Glass & Pottery Creativity

Pink has become one of the most popular colors of gemstones. But many other gems like the pink sapphire and spinel, can be found in small sizes, usually under 2 carats. You can often find pink tourmaline in size between 5 and 10 carats, but if you're looking pink stone very important for a cocktail ring or pendant, it is best Kunzite.

Kunzite is still unknown to many buyers of gemstones. But the world of precious stones have begun to pay attention to Kunzite when they heard a ring of 47 carat Kunzite that President John F. Kennedy had bought for his wife, Jacqueline. He never had the opportunity to give the ring before his tragic death in 1963. Kunzite ring sold over 410,000 $ in a Sotheby's auction of the estate of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis in 1996.

Kunzite violet light is pale purple, pink for the species of the mineral spodumene. It's a good hard stone (6.5 to 7.5 on the Mohs scale), with a vitreous luster and good transparency, so it fits all types of jewelry. It is usually a very pale pink or lilac, if we occasionally some roses more saturated. We have also found some interesting pieces in pink gold unusual.

Although most Kunzite well in the market today only Pakistan and Afghanistan, the gem was discovered in the U.S.. It was named for George F. Kunz, mineralogist legend America and the buyer for Tiffany & Co, who first described the GEM in 1902. Interestingly, the green form of spodumene It was also discovered in the United States, and was named after another American, is hidden.

Kunzite is strongly pleochroic, which means that there is a change the intensity of colored glass when viewed from different directions. The top and bottom of the glass reveals the deepest colors. Kunzite is difficult to cut so that the light passes through the gemstone accents and the desired color.

Kunzite often be found in sizes over 20 carats, and we see Occasionally pieces as large as 50 carats. These days, that often gets a Portuguese court, as the multiple facets of this additional reduction improves its radiance. Most Kunzite we found is fairly clean, and it is not uncommon to find large pieces no inclusions visible to all, even under magnification.
