DESCRIPTION:

Super lot of vivid Pastel Purple to Bright Lavender Afghani Kunzite. There are only two stones in this parcel and they both look like they will yield large Eye-Clean to Very Slightly Included finished stones with little effort if cut for yield. Both stones are capable of cutting Eye-Clean or better with proper orientation. 1 Stone is practically Eye-clean while the other stone has some slight veiling concentrated at one end. The second stone with the minor veiling will need to be oriented properly and sawn to get an Eye-Clean or better stone but this shouldn't be too difficult for any experienced cutter. These are not small pieces with the average weight being around 205 or so Carats!

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 lot up. The color on these stones is not the darkest but it is a super value for the price, size and clarity. Don't miss your opportunity to pick this up as we will not stock much of this material because of current market prices.

COOL FACTS:
  1. Afghan Kunzite is in EXTREMELY high demand and the price of this material is jumping exponentially. What I paid for 27 Kilos a few years ago is less than what ONE kilo of similar material costs today. The greatest demand for this material lies in low grade cabbing or tumbling rough and it is running at about $50-$100.00 per kilo in PAKISTAN.
