Kunzite in a round cut pairs the most popular and most brilliant cut with Kunzite's pink, lilac, violet color and Mohs 6.75 hardness.
Why the round cut works for Kunzite
The most popular and most brilliant cut, engineered to maximize sparkle. Kunzite reads more for color than fire, so a round cut is about shape and color rather than sparkle. At Mohs 6.75, Kunzite is softer, so a round Kunzite is best protected by a bezel or halo and kept for lighter wear. Treatment to expect: irradiation or heat (some stones).
