This gemstone speaks directly to customers who want more than a pretty color, it offers presence, confidence, and a story.

We understand that you want perfection without compromise, and this kunzite delivers the elegant scale, clean visual appearance, and refined sparkle that completes the search.

At 16.71 carat, with dimensions of 18.68 by 11.45 by 9.48 millimeters, this oval shape pink kunzite is a rare combination of size and clarity. The gem is transparent with a light color intensity that reads as a pure, soft pink under most lighting, making it versatile in a range of jewelry settings and metal colors. The cutter has used a mixed brilliant cut to marry the fiery, scintillating crown of a brilliant style with the depth and clarity retention of step style facets on the pavilion, creating optimal light performance. Clarity is judged as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, which means the stone appears clean to the eye and retains excellent visual purity, while still showing the character typical of a natural gemstone. The polish is excellent, and there has been no enhancement applied to this stone, which enhances its collectible value and reassures you as a buyer that what you see is pure, untreated beauty from Brazil.

What truly sets this kunzite apart is the way its crystal structure and cut work together to produce a sparkle that is unmatched by many other gems of similar color and size. Kunzite belongs to the spodumene family and crystallizes in a structure that allows for strong internal reflection, and when skillfully cut into a mixed brilliant oval, each facet becomes a window that throws light back to the eye with lively scintillation. The combination of a brilliant crown and a step pavilion means light is first dispersed across multiple small facets to create lively flashes of bright white sparkle, and then guided deeper into the pavilion facets where controlled reflections add depth and a layered shimmer. This interplay creates movement and fire that is noticeable even when the stone is worn at daily viewing distance. Additionally, the inherent pleochroism of kunzite can cause subtle shifts in tone as the gem turns, which makes the sparkle feel alive, because the stone shows slightly different pink intensities from different angles, enhancing perceived brilliance and creating dynamic flashes rather than a single flat sheen. The excellent polish further allows each facet to act as a mirror, so light passes into the stone cleanly and returns with clarity, and because no enhancements obscure the natural crystal planes, the light performance is honest and natural, without the glassy look that some treated materials can exhibit.

For those deciding how to make this kunzite the centerpiece of a lifetime, The Natural Gemstone Company can help you envision settings that amplify what this gem already offers. In a solitaire setting the sizeable oval will command attention and allow the mixed brilliant faceting to speak clearly, creating broad flashes across the top of the stone. If you prefer a halo or side stone arrangement the light pink hue will pair beautifully with warm metals and with diamonds that act as a bright frame to intensify color and brilliance. Collectors will value the no enhancement origin from Brazil and the large carat weight for provenance and rarity, while a bride seeking an alternative to the traditional diamond will find that the soft tone and lively sparkle make for a romantic and personalized statement. We stand behind every stone we offer, and we will provide detailed images, gemological notes, and consultation about mounting and care so you feel secure in your choice. If your quest is for a dramatic, romantic, and naturally perfect gemstone, this 16.71 carat oval pink kunzite completes that search, and The Natural Gemstone Company is ready to help you bring it into the light.
