{"product_id":"afghan-kunzite-1-40ct-pear-light-lilac","title":"Afghan Kunzite | 1.40ct Pear | Light Lilac","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis 1.40 carat pear cut kunzite from Afghanistan shows a soft light lilac that reflects light with a gentle, even glow. The stone measures 7.1 x 6mm with exceptional VVS (very, very slightly included) clarity, so light moves cleanly through its structure without interruption. This gemstone is completely untreated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKunzite is the lilac to pink variety of the mineral spodumene, and untreated kunzite of this caliber is getting rarer to find on the open market, particularly in fine quality from Afghanistan. The balanced proportions and clean internal structure make this stone an excellent choice for collectors, jewelry designers, and anyone beginning a curated collection of high-grade untreated material. Kunzite is also photosensitive, meaning its color can fade with prolonged exposure to strong sunlight, so it's best to store this stone away from direct sun when you're not wearing or working with it, which is something every collector needs to know before buying.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWHAT THIS STONE IS USED FOR\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the stone medicine space, light lilac kunzite supports emotional harmony and steady energetic flow. It encourages movement where energy has become stagnant, but it does so with a softness that maintains balance and calm, which makes it effective for subtle-body work that requires activation without overstimulation. Kunzite resonates with the heart chakra, and it supports emotional clarity, gentle motivation, and the release of low-grade energetic tension, helping restore a sense of openness, forward motion, and renewed internal rhythm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne advantage of a faceted gemstone over a rough crystal is the culet, the pointed tip at the base of the stone, which acts as a focused energy director, much like the tip of a Vogel Crystal. By pointing the culet directly at the body, you can concentrate and deliver the stone's vibrational frequencies into a specific point instead of letting them radiate outward in all directions. In fine jewelry, this pear makes an excellent stone for a ring or pendant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVIBRATIONAL PROFILE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRed Frequency:\u003c\/strong\u003e This kunzite resonates in the red frequency, expressed in a light, refined way because of the stone's pale color and clear internal structure. The red frequency is a catalyst for stimulating the central nervous system, increasing circulation, building hemoglobin and platelets in the blood, and strengthening muscles and bones. It is especially effective for supporting rapid tissue repair. Modern research has shown that red light in the 620 to 660 nanometer range resonates with the cell membrane and is optimal for wound healing. On the energetic level, red is activating, vitalizing, warming, and expansive. Rudolf Steiner associated red with the Warmth Ether, the initial stage where spiritual forces begin to manifest as heat and move toward their physical form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile deeper red frequency stones deliver a strong, dense kinetic quality, this lilac kunzite expresses the red frequency at a more delicate level. It provides gentle stimulation of vitality and circulation within the subtle energy field without overwhelming the system, which makes it ideal for anyone who benefits from soft, steady activation rather than a forceful catalytic charge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMINERAL TYPE:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spodumene (variety kunzite)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCUT:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePHENOMENON:\u003c\/strong\u003e None\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCOLOR:\u003c\/strong\u003e Light lilac\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCLARITY:\u003c\/strong\u003e VVS (very, very slightly included)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTRANSPARENCY:\u003c\/strong\u003e Transparent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWEIGHT:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.40 ct.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSIZE:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.1 x 6mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eORIGIN:\u003c\/strong\u003e Afghanistan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTREATMENT:\u003c\/strong\u003e None (untreated)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHARDNESS:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.5-7 (Mohs scale)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eREFRACTIVE INDEX (RI):\u003c\/strong\u003e ~1.660-1.676\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBIREFRINGENCE:\u003c\/strong\u003e ~0.014-0.016\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSPECIFIC GRAVITY (SG):\u003c\/strong\u003e ~3.18\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCRYSTAL SYSTEM:\u003c\/strong\u003e Monoclinic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCHEMICAL COMPOSITION:\u003c\/strong\u003e LiAlSi₂O₆\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e✦ HAND-SELECTED AND VIBRATIONALLY TESTED\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis kunzite has been personally sourced and tested by Ashley Sohl, Ph.D. candidate, GIA-trained gemologist, and originator of archetypal stonework.
