34.36 Ct. Kunzite from Afghanistan

A rare jewel of restrained majesty awaits the connoisseur who recognizes true refinement, a transparent pink kunzite weighing 34.36 carats, cut in an elegant asscher octagon shape, with precise dimensions of 16.87 by 16.95 by 14.60 millimeters, each measurement speaking to the gem cutter s devotion to proportion and balance. Sourced from the storied deposits of Afghanistan, this kunzite carries a provenance that will whisper of adventurous taste and discerning collection, enhanced by a professional heat treatment that deepens its medium intense color without compromising the stone s natural purity. The clarity of this specimen is graded as very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, a clarity that allows light to pass through with exceptional purity while offering the hint of natural origin that true lovers of gemstones prize. Finished with an excellent polish, each facet has been brought to a mirror like smoothness, allowing the asscher cut s step facets to perform their lyrical choreography, producing a hall of mirrors effect that alternates flashes of pink fire with softer pastel halos. Presented to you by The Natural Gemstone Company, this kunzite is not merely an item to possess, it is an object to inherit, it is a declaration that your collection is curated with impeccable taste.

There is a unique dignity to an asscher cut of this scale, a geometry that celebrates symmetry and depth rather than mere sparking dispersion, and the octagonal outline in this large 34.36 carat example becomes a canvas for the stone s medium intense pink, permitting both saturated zones and delicate lavenders to coexist as the light moves. The transparent body color is an invitation to explore, to set the gem in a design that allows it to be viewed from multiple angles, in a ring or a pendant that elevates the wearer s presence without shouting. The very very slightly included clarity means that at typical viewing distances the gem reads as visually clean, with internal characteristics that are small and harmonious, contributing to the sense of a natural, living material rather than something manufactured. The excellent polish amplifies that living quality, sharpening facet junctions and ensuring that every angle returns light with clarity and luster. Because this kunzite is heat treated, the tone and saturation are stable under normal wear, and the enhancement has been performed with respect for the stone s structure, preserving the softness of its color while increasing the depth that turns a fine gem into an object of desire.

Durability and care are important considerations for anyone who invests in exceptional colored gemstones, and kunzite s place on the Mohs scale should be understood in context, kunzite typically registers around six and a half to seven on the Mohs hardness scale, making it softer than classical jewelry stalwarts such as sapphire or ruby which rate nine, and significantly less hard than diamond which rates ten, kunzite is comparable to or slightly softer than quartz which rates seven, this means that while the stone offers significant resistance to everyday wear, it requires thoughtful mounting and reasonable care to preserve its polished facets and crisp pavilion angles. For daily wear a protective setting that shields the girdle and corners is recommended, a bezel or cathedral style mount will help prevent accidental chips, and because this kunzite benefits from a hard, protective setting the judicious owner will pair this gem with metals and designs that celebrate its size and color while safeguarding its longevity. Clean with gentle soap and warm water, avoid ultrasonic cleaners and harsh chemicals, and remove during vigorous activity and household chores to maintain the excellent polish that defines this piece. Owning this 34.36 carat Afghan kunzite from The Natural Gemstone Company is an achievement, a visible statement of refined taste that will sit at the heart of a treasured jewel collection, an heirloom quality gem that promises to reward those who admire beauty, rarity, and thoughtful craftsmanship.
