Care comes first with kunzite, because that is where it differs from most pink stones. It sits at 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs scale, firm enough for jewellery, yet it splits cleanly along one direction, so a hard blow to an edge can chip it. Rings are best kept for occasional wear or protective settings. A pendant or earrings are the safer choice.

Light is the other concern. The pink in kunzite can fade after long exposure to bright sun, which is why jewellers suggest keeping it in a drawer or lined box rather than on a sunny windowsill.

This piece weighs 6.95 carats and is priced in line with the other kunzite of its size. Message us on WhatsApp quoting GSN-KZ-06 with any questions.

Kunzite is sometimes irradiated or heated to strengthen its colour. Ask us what we know about this stone, and if you want certainty, independent lab testing is your choice. See the full kunzite listing for comparable sizes.

Clean it with warm soapy water and a soft cloth only.

It travels by insured, tracked courier and you inspect it on arrival before paying. Karachi orders usually come within 1 to 2 working days, Lahore, Islamabad and the other big cities within 2 to 4, and unused stones can be returned within 7 days. Before you choose, read our kunzite guide.

This particular stone

This listing is one natural kunzite with a weight of 6.95 Carat. Its price is Rs. 7,880 — roughly Rs. 1,134 for each carat. Treatment: treatment not tested. Quote reference GSN-KZ-06 when you message us about it. The photographs show this exact stone, so what arrives at your door is the piece you chose on screen.

From six carats up a stone becomes the centre of attention. It wants a broader shank or a secure claw setting and suits an occasion ring, a signet or a centre pendant. Clean natural material of this size turns up far less often, and the per-carat rate reflects that.

On the Mohs scale kunzite rates 6.5 to 7. That is middle-of-the-road hardness: comfortable in pendants and earrings, and in rings worn with some care. Store it apart from harder stones so it does not pick up scratches, and wipe it with a damp cloth rather than scrubbing.

Whoever you buy kunzite from, make sure of three things: the stone is natural rather than lab-grown, glass or glass-filled; any treatment is stated in writing; and the weight quoted is the weight of the finished stone. We check every kunzite for those three points before it is listed, and because you pay on delivery you can look at the stone — or have it tested — before any money changes hands.
