Kunzite From Afghanistan With Edward Boehm by GIA. What is kunzite? Edward Boehm discusses a spectacular, 85-carat kunzite from Afghanistan and the unique properties that make up this gem. Kunzite gemstone, considered to be an alternative for the February birthstone, is the best-known variety of the mineral spodumene and it gets its delicate color from trace amounts of manganese. Always attractive, it suffers somewhat from a lack of consumer recognition. However, this can translate to reasonable prices at the jewelry counter. In its largest sizes and finest colors, kunzite appeals to discriminating collectors. One of the key kunzite value factors, and the reason why collectors love it so much, is its color range, from delicate pastel pink to intense violetish-purple. Kunzite crystal can come both naturally and heated, otherwise known as irradiated. In addition to Afghanistan, San Diego, California is another important source of kunzite.
