It is named after the American mineralogist George Frederick Kunz, who first described the gemstone in 1902. Kunzite is a popular gemstone due to its distinctive pink to violet hues, which are caused by the presence of manganese in the crystal structure. It is a relatively hard mineral, with a Mohs hardness of 6.5 to 7, making it suitable for use in jewelry. Kunzite is believed to have metaphysical properties, with some people using it for its supposed healing properties or as a tool for meditation.
