3.65 Ct. Kunzite from Brazil

This transparent 3.65 carat cushion shape pink kunzite from Brazil is a statement of refined taste and considered provenance. Measuring 8.86 by 8.22 by 6.18 millimeters, the gem offers a generous face up presentation that reads well in fine jewelry, especially as a solitaire or as the central stone in a bespoke setting. The cutter chose a mixed brilliant cut to marry the scintillation of a brilliant style with the soft, classic silhouette of a cushion shape. The result is a stone that returns light with lively sparkle while maintaining a broad table area to display its delicate pink hue. The Natural Gemstone Company offers this kunzite as a natural, unenhanced example of this collector gemstone, with excellent polish that intensifies its visual appeal and ease of setting.

From a clarity and cutting perspective, this kunzite is an exemplary piece. It is graded as very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, meaning inclusions are minimal and do not interfere with the gem’s transparency or brilliance when worn. The mixed brilliant facet architecture was selected to minimize the visual impact of any internal features and to maximize light return, so the stone looks exceptionally clean to the naked eye. The excellent polish further enhances facet delineation and contributes to crisp reflections across the crown and pavilion. For buyers accustomed to precision in gem grading, these attributes are important because they balance aesthetic performance with objective quality indicators, providing confidence that the gem will perform well under close inspection and retain value through well considered settings and careful wear.

Color and origin are critical to the informed buyer, and this kunzite delivers on both counts. The gem exhibits a light color intensity that reads as an elegant, soft pink, a hue prized for its versatility and timeless appeal. Kunzite is known for pleochroism, meaning its color can vary slightly when viewed from different angles, and a skilled cutter will orient the stone to present the most desirable face up color. This piece was cut from material originating in Brazil, a region recognized for producing clean, attractive kunzite crystals, and the natural, untreated condition means the color is wholly inherent to the crystal. For collectors and jewelry designers who prioritize natural state and documented origin, the absence of enhancements is a meaningful attribute, and it is explicitly noted in this offering as part of the authenticated description provided by The Natural Gemstone Company.

Beyond its immediate beauty, this kunzite represents a considered investment in craftsmanship and long term desirability. Larger, eye clean kunzite crystals in attractive cushion cuts are less common than smaller fragments, and the balance of substantial carat weight with high polish and minimal inclusions places this stone in a category that appeals to both connoisseurs and designers seeking a refined focal gem. The mixed brilliant cut enhances display value, ensuring that the gem performs under varied lighting conditions and across different settings. For the educated buyer, value derives not only from the intrinsic properties of the mineral, but also from how those properties are realized through cutting and finishing. This stone exemplifies that synthesis, offering an intersection of aesthetic refinement and technical precision that supports both immediate enjoyment and long term retention of desirability.

Practical considerations complete the assessment of this kunzite as an investment in beauty and craftsmanship. Kunzite is a member of the spodumene family with a Mohs hardness that warrants respectful wear, and it has a pronounced cleavage that requires careful handling and protective setting choices. For longevity, we recommend settings that shield the girdle and corners, such as bezel or halo settings, and favor use in pendants and earrings for everyday wear, or in rings when the design provides protective mounting. Avoid exposure to high heat and prolonged intense sunlight to prevent potential color fading, and clean the gem with warm soapy water and a soft brush, avoiding ultrasonic cleaners and steam unless advised by a gemologist. The Natural Gemstone Company stands ready to advise on setting options, provide additional imagery and measurements, and arrange secure shipment with documentation so that your purchase is supported by both expertise and aftercare guidance. Owning this kunzite is therefore an investment not only in a single beautiful stone, but in the craftsmanship and stewardship that preserve and enhance its value over time.
