Kunzite is a pink variety of spodumene, named after the gemmologist George Kunz who described it in the early twentieth century. Many buyers in Pakistan meet it through jewellery shown in pale lilac-pink tones, and it makes a gentler alternative to the usual reds.

The stone here weighs 10.05 carats and is the heaviest in our current kunzite lineup. It is priced at Rs. 11,330, around Rs. 1,127 per carat, and the reference is GSN-KZ-09.

At 6.5 to 7 on Mohs, it will withstand ordinary handling, but it is brittle along its cleavage, so treat it like a pendant stone and not as a hammer-proof ring. Strong sunlight may fade the colour over the years.

It is common for kunzite to be heated or irradiated to bring out its pink, so we suggest asking about this stone before buying; we will share what we know and can arrange independent testing. Message us on +92 308 887 3888 or see further pieces in the kunzite category.

A stone of ten carats is substantial; a plain silver mount lets the pink do the work, and our team can talk through a custom ring setting on WhatsApp.

This particular stone

This listing is one natural kunzite with a weight of 10.05 Carat. Its price is Rs. 11,330 — roughly Rs. 1,127 for each carat. Treatment: treatment not tested. Quote reference GSN-KZ-09 when you message us about it. The photographs show this exact stone, so what arrives at your door is the piece you chose on screen.

From six carats up a stone becomes the centre of attention. It wants a broader shank or a secure claw setting and suits an occasion ring, a signet or a centre pendant. Clean natural material of this size turns up far less often, and the per-carat rate reflects that.

On the Mohs scale kunzite rates 6.5 to 7. That is middle-of-the-road hardness: comfortable in pendants and earrings, and in rings worn with some care. Store it apart from harder stones so it does not pick up scratches, and wipe it with a damp cloth rather than scrubbing.

Whoever you buy kunzite from, make sure of three things: the stone is natural rather than lab-grown, glass or glass-filled; any treatment is stated in writing; and the weight quoted is the weight of the finished stone. We check every kunzite for those three points before it is listed, a certificate is available on request, and because you pay on delivery you can look at the stone — or have it tested — before any money changes hands.
