Kunzite (Africa) Light Large

A stone of love and compassion - Kunzite is soaked in sublime love. It is one of the strongest crystals to sweep away dark and negative feelings.

Kunzite was first discovered in 1902 by mineralogist and jeweller George Frederick Kunz. Before it was called Kunzite, it was born into a crystal family called Spodumene.
