DESCRIPTION:

Super lot of Pastel Pink to Deep Purplish Pink Nigerian Kunzite Facet & Cabbing Rough. Please note that these are from a fairly new find of Kunzite in Nigeria and we don't really know anyone else who is carrying the material in the US. Some of the rough in this lot has peculiar silver needles that are visible from certain angles and not others unlike anything we have seen in Afghan Kunzite; however, the lot overall is running roughly 70% Medium to High Facet Grade with the remainder being a mix of Facet & Cab rough. We have seen material similar to the "rutilated" rough in this lot marketed as "Rutilated" Kunzite or "Rutile" Kunzite; however, we'll leave that part to you. Overall this is a bargain NOT to be missed for if this were Afghan Kunzite we wouldn't be able to buy it for this price! This is the last parcel of Nigerian Kunzite we have so get it before it is gone!

PLEASE BE AWARE THAT KUNZITE IS NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART! If you have not dealt with Kunzite before I would not recommend picking this up. Many of these are slender elongated crystals and crystal sections and therefore finished gemstones will be relatively small compared to the average size weight. Our price on this parcel reflects the dimensions of the rough. Don't miss your opportunity to pick this up as we don't anticipate on acquiring any more in the near future.

COOL FACTS:
  1. This is from a New Find of Kunzite from Nigeria, Africa. We have been hearing rumors that extremely large stones are being mined; however, we haven't seen any of that first hand. The material we have received is similar to this and some of it actually looks like it is partially alluvial.
