{"product_id":"kunzite-crystal-specimen-double-04320","title":"Double-Etched Kunzite 64mm — Pink Heart Collector Stone","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhat sets this \u003cstrong\u003eKunzite crystal\u003c\/strong\u003e apart is its double termination, with beautifully etched texture on both ends rather than just one. It is a slender 64mm \u003cstrong\u003espodumene\u003c\/strong\u003e from Afghanistan's Pech Valley, its soft \u003cstrong\u003epink\u003c\/strong\u003e colour lit by subtle internal veils that reveal themselves slowly as you turn it toward the light. Doubly etched pieces at this cabinet size are genuinely uncommon, which is part of the quiet appeal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA question worth asking about etched crystals is whether that texture was carved, and the answer is no. It formed naturally, as the crystal grew and partly dissolved through shifting conditions underground, leaving a surface no cutting tool could imitate. As a heart stone, kunzite is loved for its \u003cstrong\u003ecalm awareness\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eemotional balance\u003c\/strong\u003e, a soft, understated energy rather than an intense one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAbout this specimen\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eKunzite's gentle pink comes from a trace of \u003cstrong\u003emanganese\u003c\/strong\u003e in the crystal, and this piece keeps a clean, elongated silhouette that plays nicely with light from different angles. The stone is named for George Kunz, the Tiffany gemologist who identified pink spodumene in 1902, and the Pech Valley in Kunar remains prized for well-formed, softly coloured crystals exactly like this.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStone: natural Kunzite (spodumene)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: 64mm tall, 59g, slender\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeature: rare natural etching on both terminations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: Pech Valley, Kunar, Afghanistan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChakra: heart, bridging to crown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLiving with your Kunzite\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause kunzite is known as the \u003cstrong\u003eevening stone\u003c\/strong\u003e and can fade in strong sun, keep this piece on a shaded shelf or in a display case rather than a bright window. Its slim shape is happiest somewhere stable, away from harder objects it could knock against. Clean gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth, and avoid soap, steam, or ultrasonic cleaners.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePlease note: crystals are not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
