3.56 Ct. Kunzite from Afghanistan

A rare pink kunzite of singular refinement arrives to our collection as a private offering for discerning connoisseurs, presented by The Natural Gemstone Company. This transparent gem is a 3.56 carat emerald cut, its elongated facets measuring 10.16 x 6.04 x 6.82 mm, each plane polished to an excellent finish. The stone’s faint pink hue is subtle and sophisticated, a whisper of color that reads as modern and timeless at once. Because pieces of this quality and size are seldom found, and because we offer only a small number of stones from responsible sources, ownership confers an immediate sense of exclusivity. Prospective collectors who seek something beyond the ordinary will appreciate that this kunzite is not mass produced, but rather a singular natural treasure, prepared and presented with meticulous attention to detail.

The geometric clarity of the emerald cut emphasizes the kunzite’s crystalline transparency and internal grace, allowing light to travel with calm, refined reflections rather than scintillating distraction. The clarity grade is very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which means that the inclusions are minimal and do not disturb the gem’s serene appearance. The faint color intensity ensures versatility in design, pairing beautifully with warm metals for a vintage inspired mood or with cool metals for a contemporary, understated look. The excellent polish enhances the stone’s smooth planes and corner facets, producing a soft mirror like luster. Enhancement disclosure is transparent, this kunzite has been heat treated to gently refine its tone and clarity while preserving its natural character, and its origin is Afghanistan, a region known for producing rare, delicate pink material that speaks to a unique geological story.

Ethical sourcing is at the heart of how we curate every gem that bears the name The Natural Gemstone Company, and this kunzite is no exception. We work directly with vetted suppliers and community oriented partners in Afghanistan to ensure traceability and responsible procurement, and we insist on fair compensation for miners and on practices that minimize environmental disturbance. Each stone in our program is selected with a commitment to transparency, so that collectors may know not only the physical attributes of their acquisition, but also the human and environmental context from which it came. By disclosing heat treatment and origin openly, we allow ethical buyers to make informed decisions, and by limiting the number of pieces we bring to market, we reduce the pressure of overextraction and support sustainable livelihoods in source communities. Owning this kunzite means joining a select cohort of purchasers who value provenance and stewardship as much as beauty.

For the conscious consumer who values rarity, provenance, and refined aesthetics, this 3.56 carat pink kunzite is a considered addition to a curated collection. It is ideally suited to bespoke commissions, pairs with a bespoke setting as a refined center stone, and complements a careful assortment of heirloom pieces. Because kunzite can be sensitive to prolonged exposure to strong light and extreme heat, we recommend protecting the gem from continuous direct sunlight, storing it in a soft, opaque pouch, and cleaning it with warm soapy water and a soft brush while avoiding steam and ultrasonic cleaners. These care steps will preserve its faint color and polished surfaces for generations. Availability is limited, and each purchase includes comprehensive documentation from The Natural Gemstone Company, detailing weight, dimensions, clarity comment, enhancement disclosure, and origin, so that this exceptional stone may be enjoyed with full confidence.
