52.82 Ct. Kunzite from Brazil

From the hidden pegmatite pockets of Brazil to the workbench of an experienced master cutter, this 52.82 carat cushion shaped kunzite carries a story that begins deep in the earth and ends as a luminous treasure you can wear every day, this gem was liberated from crystalline veins where lithium rich fluids cooled slowly, allowing a single, transparent crystal to form with exceptional size and clarity, its raw purplish pink promise caught the eye of miners who recognized a rare hue and weight, the rough was entrusted to skilled hands that saw the potential for a statement gem, at The Natural Gemstone Company we cherish that beginning, because provenance matters, Brazil has long produced some of the finest kunzite specimens in the world, and this stone exemplifies the countrys ability to yield color saturated, well formed crystal material that responds beautifully to a careful cut, the cushion outline preserves a generous face up area, while the mixed brilliant cut was chosen to translate the gem natural saturation into scintillation and depth, the result is a vivid purplish pink that sings in daylight and glows under evening lights, every facet plays a role in the stones visual narrative, and the dimensions of 25.48 by 19.45 by 13.74 millimeters give this kunzite presence and poise on the hand, when you imagine this gem in a setting you are imagining a journey from Brazilian geology to a personal heirloom.

The crafting process was an exercise in intention, clarity grade was determined as eye clean when examined at eye level, and that purity allowed the cutter to open the kunzite to its fullest potential without sacrificing durability, the mixed brilliant cut creates a balance of large crown facets for color delivery, and smaller pavilion facets for brilliance and return of light, the polish was brought to an excellent finish so that each facet edge reads crisply and the stones surface breathes with life, a gentle heat treatment was applied to enhance and stabilize the purplish pink tone, heat treatment is a common and accepted enhancement that deepens hue without obscuring the stones natural character, because the starting material was already high quality, the result is a vivid color intensity that feels both natural and amplified, in hand the stone translates as transparent and lively, the mixed faceting pattern also moderates strong cleavage directions by distributing stress across multiple planes, this thoughtful cutting approach, combined with the stones inherent clarity and the excellent polish, makes this kunzite remarkably suitable for being set into a daily wearable jewel, at The Natural Gemstone Company we take pride in selecting and finishing stones that are not only beautiful on paper, but also resilient in real life.

Kunzite is a gem that rewards respect, it sits around six and a half to seven on the Mohs hardness scale, which places it in a category that is durable enough for many types of jewelry, yet it benefits from mindful design choices to achieve daily wearability, this particular 52.82 carat cushion, with its substantial dimensions and mixed brilliant architecture, gains practical toughness from the way it disperses potential impact across many facets, for everyday wear we recommend settings that protect the girdle and corners such as a full bezel, a protective halo, or a custom mount that cradles the stone, these settings reduce the risk of chips and guard against direct knocks, because kunzite can exhibit a perfect cleavage in one direction, sudden heavy blows should be avoided, but under normal, everyday conditions, with reasonable care, this gem will remain a steadfast companion, another consideration is light exposure, kunzite can be sensitive to prolonged, intense sunlight over many years, however the professional heat treatment and the deep, vivid color of this Brazilian specimen provide added stability, as a practical matter we advise standard precautions such as not leaving the piece in direct sun for extended periods, removing jewelry during vigorous activity, and cleaning the stone gently with warm soapy water rather than harsh ultrasonic or steam cleaning, follow these simple care steps and this kunzite becomes an ideal choice for a show stopping ring or pendant that you will enjoy daily.
