Etched Kunzite Specimen 80-93mm — Pink Heart Stone

This Kunzite Specimen shows the soft pink-lilac glow that's made kunzite a favourite heart stone since it was first identified in 1902, named for the Tiffany & Co. gemologist George Kunz who described it. Available in three sizes between 80mm and 93mm, each piece carries a natural etched termination, a texture that forms as the crystal grows and dissolves in stages rather than in one clean push.

People often ask what kunzite is actually good for emotionally. It's regarded as a bridge between the heart and crown chakras, said to soothe grief and blocked love without forcing anything open too fast, a gentler energy than some other heart stones. Its pink to lilac colour comes from trace manganese in the crystal structure, the same kind of subtle mineral chemistry that gives so many gemstones their signature hues.

About this specimen

Kunzite is nicknamed the "evening stone" in the trade, because prolonged sunlight can fade its colour over time, so it's traditionally kept for wear or display away from harsh direct light. The etched termination on this specimen is a genuine natural feature, not a cut or polish, and it's part of what makes an etched piece read as more of a mineral specimen than a standard tumbled stone.

• Sizes: 3 pieces, 80-93mm tall

Living with your Kunzite

A shaded shelf, a bedside table, or a meditation corner all suit this piece well, somewhere out of strong direct sun so its colour stays true. Many people hold it during meditation or simply keep it in view as a quiet reminder to soften. Clean it gently with a damp soft cloth rather than soap or ultrasonic cleaners, which can be too harsh for this softer stone.
