Kunzite

Kunzite is the best-known variety of the mineral spodumene. It's named after famed gemologist George Frederick Kunz, who was the first to identify it as a unique variety of spodumene. Kunzite gets its delicate color from trace amounts of manganese.

According to metaphysical beliefs, kunzite is a stone deeply connected to the heart and love. A joyful stone, kunzite opens and connects the heart with the mind, encouraging communion between the two. While wearing kunzite, it is thought you are better able to experience and reciprocate love.

It is known for healing benefits often having to do with love and spiritual peace. For example, many users rely on kunzite to help them achieve unconditional love, to center themselves, to calm nerves, to enhance self-expression, and to cultivate a deep selfless love for everyone.
