Afghan Kunzite | 2.60ct Elongated Cushion | Lilac

2.60 ct. Kunzite (Lilac) This refined 2.60ct kunzite measures 8.9 x 6.8mm and displays a soft lilac tone that reflects light with a gentle, even glow. Cut into an elegant elongated cushion cut shape, this gemstone from Afghanistan shows exceptional VVS clarity, allowing light to move cleanly through its structure without interruption. Untreated kunzite of this caliber is increasingly difficult to source, particularly in smaller, fine-quality parcels from Afghanistan, making this piece an excellent choice for collectors, gem enthusiasts, and jewelry designers seeking high-grade, untreated material. Its balanced proportion and clean internal structure make it suitable for a custom pendant or ring, while its size and purity also position it as a strong addition to any gemstone or mineral collection, including those just beginning to build a curated selection of high-quality pieces. SPECIFICATIONS MINERAL TYPE: Spodumene (Kunzite variety) CUT: Elongated Cushion COLOR: Lilac CLARITY: VVS TRANSPARENCY: Transparent WEIGHT: 2.60 ct. SIZE: 8.9 x 6.8mm ORIGIN: Afghanistan TREATMENT: None (untreated) HARDNESS: 6.5–7 (Mohs scale) REFRACTIVE INDEX (RI): ~1.660–1.676 BIREFRINGENCE: ~0.014–0.016 SPECIFIC GRAVITY (SG): ~3.18 CRYSTAL SYSTEM: Monoclinic CHEMICAL COMPOSITION: LiAlSi₂O₆ VIBRATIONAL FREQUENCY PROFILE This kunzite resonates in the Red Band of the Universal Vibrational Spectrum, expressing a light, refined version of this vibrational quality due to the stone’s pale color and clear internal structure. The Red Band corresponds to activation, movement, and the initiation of energetic flow. While deeper red-band stones tend to carry a strong, dense kinetic quality, this light lilac kunzite expresses the Red Band at a more delicate level. It provides a gentle stimulation of vitality and circulation within the subtle energy field without overwhelming the system. This makes it ideal for individuals who benefit from a soft, steady activation rather than a forceful catalytic charge. METAPHYSICAL PROPERTIES Light lilac kunzite is associated with emotional harmony and steady energetic flow. Its expression of the Red Band encourages movement where energy has become stagnant, yet it does so with a softness that maintains balance and calm. This makes it effective for subtle-body work that requires activation without overstimulation. It supports emotional clarity, gentle motivation, and the release of low-grade energetic tension. For meditation or stone medicine applications, this kunzite helps restore a sense of openness, forward motion, and renewed internal rhythm while resonating with the heart chakra. This piece would make an excellent stone for a ring or pendant. You will receive the exact stone shown here.
