Kunzite is the best-known variety of the mineral spodumene. It’s named after famed gemologist George Frederick Kunz, who was the first to identify it as a unique variety of spodumene. Kunzite gets its delicate color from trace amounts of manganese. California’s San Diego County is an important source of kunzite.

That said, Kunzite is a relatively hard gemstone and yet, it has distinct cleavage which means smacking a piece of Kunzite jewelry against a hard surface or dropping it can result in your pink earrings or ring shattering. It is always best to remove it before sleeping, especially if you are wearing Kunzite earrings or rings. When the time comes to clean your jewelry, use a mild dish soap with warm water to rinse away any dust.
