19.47 ct. Brazilian Kunzite

An exquisite stone - perfectly clean and of a collection size.  Excellent color for the species as well seeing as smaller stones are typically considerably lighter.  Kunzite is a horror to facet, so symmetry and polish are extremely important when grading these - this stone getting full marks on each.  As few cutters will work with the material, custom cut Kunzite is not at all common, you could easily spend in excess of $100 just for the cutting of a piece like this.  One of our favorite shapes as well - the classic 'antique' cushion.

As color stability  is often a concern with this species we have subjected this stone to direct light for several hours over the course of a couple of days and have seen no evidence of fading.  Gorgeous stone.
