This exquisite Kunzite crystal, a spodumene gem, hails from the famed pegmatites of Paprok in the Kamdesh District of Nuristan, Afghanistan. The crystal exhibits a vibrant and evenly saturated purple hue, characteristic of fine-quality Kunzite from this renowned locality. Its elegant, elongated form is enhanced by superb transparency and a brilliant glassy luster that catches the light beautifully from every angle.
Measuring 6.9 cm in length and weighing 17 grams, this small cabinet specimen is remarkably well-formed and refined. The delicate striations along the crystal faces and sharp termination contribute to its aesthetic appeal. Overall, this is an excellent representation of Afghan Kunzite—mineralogically and visually impressive.
