Named after the mineralogist and jeweler George Frederick Kunz who first catalogued it in 1902, Kunzite is the pink to violet variety of the silicate, Spodumene. It has a glassy transparency forming into flattened prismatic crystals with vertical striations. Kunzite is highly pleochroic, shifting from pale pink to light violet and even colorless, depending on the angle of observation. Its perfect cleavage makes cutting difficult but can be faceted into beautiful gems. Kunzite forms naturally as colorless, pink, lilac, yellow and green crystals.

Pink Kunzite is often called the Woman’s Stone. It is particularly supportive for a young or first-time mother and for all single mothers. It assists human, as well as animal mothers who may have a hard time caring for their young. A very good stone for sleepless babies and over-active children, and an excellent gift for girls entering puberty to help them love their changing bodies.

The soothing power of Kunzite calms nervousness during an examination, interview or assessment, and is useful in situations where you cannot show irritation. In the workplace Kunzite is a protective stone when superiors bring personal dislikes or problems to work, or uses flirtation or sexual bullying as a power play.
