Geological Description:
Kunzite is the pink to lilac variety of the mineral spodumene, a lithium aluminum silicate. Its delicate color is caused by trace amounts of manganese. Kunzite forms in granite pegmatites, where large, well-formed crystals can develop. It is known for its strong pleochroism, meaning its color can appear different depending on the viewing angle. Major sources include Afghanistan, Brazil, Madagascar, Pakistan, and the United States.

Some practitioners also associate Kunzite with the crown chakra, supporting spiritual connection and higher awareness.
