Kunzite Crystal Specimen — Pink Terminated Heart Stone

Each of these Kunzite crystal specimens is a naturally terminated spodumene in soft, untreated pink, offered across a range of sizes so you can choose the piece that suits you. They run from slim 48mm crystals up to fuller 91mm pieces, every one showing the gentle blush and glassy character kunzite is loved for, with no dye or colour treatment involved.

So what is kunzite actually good for? It is a soothing heart-chakra stone, said to calm the emotions and connect the heart with the mind. People reach for it to encourage self-love, ease inner turmoil, and grow a little more tolerance, whether they choose a small carry-stone or a larger one to keep on display.

About these specimens

A common question is whether the pink is natural, and it is, coming from a trace of manganese in each crystal rather than any treatment. The natural terminations are complete expressions of how the stones grew underground. Kunzite is named for George Kunz, the Tiffany gemologist who catalogued pink spodumene in 1902, and terminated pieces like these sit nicely between carry-stone and collector specimen.

Living with your Kunzite

Kunzite is called the evening stone because strong sun can fade its colour, so keep your piece on a shaded shelf or tuck it in a pouch between uses. Smaller sizes are easy to carry or hold in meditation. Clean gently with a soft, barely damp cloth, and skip soap, steam, or ultrasonic cleaners, which are too harsh for a stone this delicate.

Please note: crystals are not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Keep small pieces away from young children.
