FAQs

What color is typical for 10-40 carat Kunzite?

Kunzite in the 10-40 carat range typically displays delicate shades of pink to light violet. The color can appear more intense in larger stones, especially when viewed under proper lighting.

Is Kunzite treated or enhanced?

Most Kunzite is untreated, but some stones may be heat-treated to improve color. These treatments are stable and widely accepted in the gemstone trade.

Why are larger Kunzite stones like 10-40 carats common?

Kunzite crystals naturally occur in large sizes, making it one of the few gemstones readily available in high carat weights with good clarity and color.

Is 10-40 carat Kunzite suitable for jewelry?

Yes, though Kunzite is better suited for pendants or earrings rather than rings, due to its cleavage and moderate hardness (Mohs 6.5–7), which makes it sensitive to impact.

How should I care for large Kunzite gemstones?

Kunzite should be stored away from prolonged sunlight, as color fading can occur over time. Clean with mild soapy water and avoid ultrasonic or steam cleaners.

Where does high-quality Kunzite come from?

Top-quality Kunzite is sourced from Afghanistan, Brazil, Madagascar, and the United States (California). These locations are known for producing gem-grade material with excellent clarity and color.
