Super Vivid Lavender to Deep slightly Pinkish Purple Afghan Kunzite TOP TOP Facet Rough. The color on this just doesn't get any better! This is one of the best pieces of Kunzite we have seen in the local market and we are extremely lucky to be able to offer it at this price. Please note that the price of Kunzite has skyrocketed here IN Pakistan and it is EXTREMELY difficult to get good colored Facet Rough at a decent price. Stones such as this are running up to $5.00 per carat in the local market! I personally saw 1 stone that weighed in at about 120 grams that was a bit lighter in color sell for close to $3,000.00 in front of me! This piece overall is glassy clean and almost completely clean with the exception of 1 cleavage plane and two tiny inclusions that will divide this rough up into two almost eye-clean sections. The division will leave you with one stone that is about 20 grams and 1 that is about 40 grams.

Please note that this is not a small pieces and it is rare to see Kunzite hit this color and clarity in this size range. 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. We are confident there are some lovely LARGE eye-clean gems just waiting to come out of this! Don't miss your opportunity to pick this up as we will not stock much of this material because of current market prices.

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.
