Kunzite is the pink to violet form of Spodumene, a lithium aluminum silicate with a hardness of 6-7. Its crystal system is monoclinic and forms as prismatic crystals with vertical striations. It is found in granite pegmatites, often in association with feldspar, muscovite, quartz, lepidolite mica, and other pegmatite minerals. It can be faceted into beautiful gems but cutting is difficult because of the stone's perfect cleavage. The main deposits are in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Brazil, Madagascar, California, and Maine.
Kunzite is a gem variety of Spodumene. Do not leave in the sunlight or the color will fade.
