AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Purple kunzite is the highly sought-after violet-to-purple variety of the mineral spodumene, prized for its exceptional clarity, glassy luster, and unique light-shifting properties. Named after gemologist George Frederick Kunz, this elegant stone gets its signature pastel pinkish-purple to rich lavender hues from trace amounts of manganese within its chemical structure...:

Color Shifting (Pleochroism): Kunzite is highly pleochroic. Depending on the angle you look at the crystal, it shifts from pale pink to deep violet, or even appears completely colorless.
