Kunzite pendant

[ilovegemstones]

I fell in love with this super sparkly kunzite pendant that I found in a gem and rock store. It was mined in Pakistan or Afghanistan and is the p ink variety of spodumene. It reminds me of a ring pop. I have not looked at it with my UV light but have read that it glows in it. It also fades in UV light and sunlight.

Neat! Will you only wear it at night to keep it from fading?

Yes, it fades!
I had a nice lavender/pink 5 carat on my workbench in a gem cup.
When I finally got around to working with it, it had faded to almost colorless.
Keep it tucked away when you aren't wearing it.
