Origin: Afghanistan – Hindu Kush Mountains Afghanistan hosts some of the world's most fascinating gem deposits. The mountainous regions of Kunar and Laghman, located in the east of the country, stand out for their important granite pegmatite deposits that harbor kunzites, tourmalines, aquamarines and other minerals of great beauty. In these remote mountains, crystals have formed slowly over millions of years under exceptional geological conditions, giving rise to specimens especially prized by collectors and gemstone enthusiasts. Curiosities of an extraordinary gem Kunzite derives its name from the famous gemologist George Frederick Kunz, one of the great figures in gemology at the beginning of the 20th century. One of its most fascinating properties is pleochroism, an optical phenomenon that allows observing different intensities of color depending on the angle from which the crystal is viewed. Additionally, certain specimens exhibit fluorescence under ultraviolet light, offering a spectacle of luminosity and color. With a hardness of 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs scale, kunzite is a gemstone highly valued for its beauty and delicacy. The stone of love and harmony Traditionally known as the stone of love and serenity, kunzite symbolizes sensitivity, emotional harmony and inner peace. Its soft pink hues evoke elegance, romance and tranquility. The combination of the Afghan natural crystal with 625 sterling silver gives this piece a distinguished and timeless character. An exclusive jewel, full of history and natural beauty, perfect for mineral collectors as well as for those seeking a different, elegant piece with its own personality.
