Kunzite is a relative newcomer to the array of coloured stones available for use in jewellery, and is the light pink to violet-ish purple variety of the mineral spodumene. In 1902, specimens of an as-yet-unidentified pink crystal were found in San Diego County, California, and sent to Tiffany & Co.’s mineralogist, George Kunz; he was able to confirm that the crystals were, in fact, an unrecognized colour of spodumene. The stone was named kunzite in honour of George Kunz in 1903. Kunzite has beautiful pleochroism, an optical effect where a gemstone’s colour can change depending on what angle it is viewed. Additionally, kunzite stones are dichroic, meaning they only show two pleochroic colours. Kunzite also displays phosphorescence, the glow of a gemstone in a dark space after being exposed to sunlight or UV light. Whether it’s pleochroism or phosphorescence, both optical effects can be best seen in larger kunzite crystals, gemstones or jewellery with open bar or prong settings.
