Kunzite Quality Factors: The Comprehensive Guide
Questions & Answers
Does GIA grade kunzite?
GIA doesn’t grade kunzite. GIA Gemological Identification Reports identify and assess the characteristics (weight, measurements, shape, cutting style, and colour) of mounted or loose kunzite and indicate any detectable treatments.
Where does the best kunzite come from?
The colour of a kunzite is more important than where it was mined. Buy the most vividly coloured kunzite you can find.
What is AAA quality kunzite?
Many companies create their own quality descriptions for coloured stones. AAA, AA, or A might denote a range of quality for their goods, but there is no single standard quality-grading scale for kunzite.
