9.66 ct Pink Kunzite - Cushion

At 9.66 carats, this kunzite from Pakistan carries its pink color through a cushion cut, measuring 13.1 x 8 x 6.5 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 carries no treatment of any kind, so the color you see is the color that came out of the ground.

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.
