Kunzite, Danburite and Hiddenite

Kunzite is a variety of Spodumene which was first discovered in the year 1902 in the vicinity of Pala, which is within San Diego county, California. The mineral was named after George F. Kunz of New York - a expert in gems who was the first individual to descrbe the mineral - by Dr. C Baskerville. The locale of the first Kunzite deposits were also noted for being within the locale of mines which yielded fine examples of Rubelite and Lepidolite. The mineral has been found across many regions of the world, including the United States of America, Canada, Mexico, Western Australia, Sweden, Brazil, Afghanistan, Pakistan and swathes  of central Asia.

Kunzite is a relatively hard mineral but care should taken to avoid scrapes or hard impact in order to prevent scratches or chipping. Excessive exposure to sunlight or heat can cause the colouration of the mineral to fade.

Danburite was discovered by Charles Upham Shepard in 1839 within the region of Danbury, Conneticut. This rare mineral species is found in various regions of the United States of America, Mexico, Switzerland, Russia, Japan, Burma and Madagascar.
