FAQ

What is the pleochroism observable in kunzite?
It's the crystal's ability to display slightly different hues depending on the angle from which it's viewed.

Why is kunzite more expensive than other pink stones like rose quartz?
Its geological formation is rarer, its cutting requires more skill, and its sensitivity to light makes it more delicate to preserve.

Is this stone suitable for everyday wear?
Yes, with a hardness of 6.5-7/10 it's reasonably sturdy, provided you avoid prolonged sun exposure.
