Kunzite Gemstones

Kunzite is a beautiful pink stone thought to possess romantic, mystical powers. Legend holds that the woman who wears Kunzite will find and keep the lover/husband of her choice for as long as she desires. Kunzite’s colour ranges from purple to pink and comes from the spodumene mineral. Kunzite’s colour may appear violet-pink or colourless, depending on the angle from which you look. Stronger-coloured Kunzite is of course more valuable than lighter-coloured. Irradiation is used to intensify Kunzite’s colour, which comes from manganese. Sunlight and exposure to strong heat can fade the colour of Kunzite.

The stone is named after George Kunz, who discovered Kunzite in early 1902. It allows the entrance of life force into the physical body by removing’ obstacles from one’s path. It also helps one to produce protection against wasted energies. Physically, Kunzite is thought to attune the cardiovascular system and help the body in receiving radionic treatments. It may enhance the cellular blueprint with the perfect reproduction of the physical form. Emotionally, it opens the heart chakra and aids in the unification of the soul with the heart.
