About Kunzite
Kunzite is the stone of divine love, displaying a delicate pink to lilac color that seems to glow from within. A variety of spodumene colored by manganese, kunzite was first identified in 1902 by mineralogist George Frederick Kunz, chief gemologist at Tiffany & Co. Its gentle, high-vibration energy opens the heart to every kind of love -- romantic, familial, universal, and self-love. In the Vedic tradition, kunzite carries the energy of Venus (Shukra) and the Moon (Chandra) at their most refined and spiritual, connecting love with divine grace. It bridges the Anahata (heart) and Sahasrara (crown) chakras, opening the heart to the direct experience of unconditional love as a cosmic force.
