The colour is a soft, natural \u003cstrong\u003epink\u003c\/strong\u003e, and the piece is untreated and undyed, so what you see is the stone exactly as it formed. Its broad, tabular shape makes the etched surface easy to admire up close.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSo what is kunzite known for? It is a soothing \u003cstrong\u003eheart-chakra\u003c\/strong\u003e stone, said to bring \u003cstrong\u003ecalm\u003c\/strong\u003e to the emotions and to build a bridge between heart and mind. Many people keep it close for \u003cstrong\u003eself-love\u003c\/strong\u003e, greater tolerance, and gentle help through inner turmoil, the kind of quiet support this understated piece is well suited to.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAbout this specimen\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA fair question is whether that etched texture is worked, and it is entirely natural, formed as the crystal grew and partly dissolved underground. Kunzite's pink colour comes from a trace of \u003cstrong\u003emanganese\u003c\/strong\u003e, and the stone is named for George Kunz, the Tiffany gemologist who first identified pink spodumene in 1902. Etched, tabular pieces like this read more as mineral specimens than polished stones.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStone: natural Kunzite (spodumene), untreated and undyed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: 68mm x 58mm x 11mm, 98g, tabular\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeature: naturally etched termination\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColour: soft pink, from natural manganese\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\u003eKunzite is nicknamed the \u003cstrong\u003eevening stone\u003c\/strong\u003e because bright sunlight can fade its colour, so a shaded shelf or a spot away from the window keeps it looking its best. It is lovely to hold during a few quiet minutes of meditation. Clean gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth, and avoid soap, steam, or ultrasonic cleaners, which are too harsh for this stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePlease note: crystals are not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
