DESCRIPTION:

Super lot of vivid pale pink to bright lavender Afghani Kunzite. Most of these pieces are slightly to moderately included; however, the two large stones in this lot have large clean areas while the other two have significant clean areas as well. These are not small pieces and inclusions in rough this size are common. You will need to saw these to get the best results. 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 nice (This holds especially true for the large stones while the smallest stone is more of a pale pink). We are confident there are some lovely LARGE eye-clean to very slightly included 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.

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.
