Natural Clear Pink Kunzite (Spodumene) Crystal – Miniature Specimen | Nuristan, Afghanistan

Natural Clear Pink Kunzite (Spodumene) – Mawi Pegmatite, Afghanistan

A beautiful natural, untreated Pink Kunzite (Spodumene) crystal from the Mawi Pegmatite, Nilaw-Kolum Pegmatite Field, Du Ab District, Nuristan, Afghanistan, distinguished by its delicate pink coloration and attractive crystal clarity.

This miniature specimen features a lovely transparent to translucent pink crystal body, allowing light to pass through and highlight its subtle natural coloration.

Unlike more opaque or heavily included Spodumene specimens, this piece is particularly appealing for its reported high clarity, which enhances its delicate pink hue and elegant appearance.

Kunzite is the pink-to-violet variety of Spodumene, a lithium aluminium silicate mineral admired by collectors for its pastel coloration, vitreous luster, and distinctive crystal formations.

Measuring approximately 50 × 40 × 10 mm and weighing 33.7 grams, this compact specimen offers an attractive addition to collections specializing in Kunzite, gem minerals, and Afghan pegmatite specimens.
