11.30 ct Pink Kunzite - Pear

At 11.3 carats, this kunzite from Pakistan carries its pink color through a pear cut, measuring 12.5 x 15.7 x 10.3 mm.

Kunzite is the pink-to-violet spodumene, colored by manganese, prized for clean pastel color in generous sizes. Pakistan's northern ranges produce fine gems from some of the highest-altitude mines in the world. It is entirely untreated; no heat, no enhancement, the color exactly as the earth made it.

Its exact combination of color, cut, and origin is its own, the kind of center stone you choose on purpose and build a piece around. Hand-selected and photographed by Caveman Gems in good light, shown as honestly as a screen allows.
