Its scale alone places it firmly in specimen territory, yet it is the combination of form, colour and internal light that elevates it to museum level. The crystal displays a vivid and luminous pink tone, saturated yet refined, with a translucency that allows light to travel deeply through its structure, igniting subtle internal reflections and a soft, almost ethereal glow. The geometry of the crystal is striking. Broad crystalline faces intersect with sharp angular transitions, creating a sculptural silhouette that feels deliberate and architectural rather than accidental. Under shifting light, the lustre reveals a glassy brilliance that accentuates growth planes and internal features, offering a tactile visual experience that feels alive and dynamic. The surface bears the honest marks of natural formation, preserving the integrity and authenticity of the specimen without distraction. Its origin in Pakistan adds further gravitas. Specimens of this calibre emerging from this region are increasingly scarce, especially those combining size, colour intensity and structural presence in such balance. This piece is not merely large; it is expressive. It commands attention not through excess, but through harmony, proportion and the unmistakable presence that only true high level specimens possess. This kunzite is equally compelling as a display centrepiece or as a serious lapidary prospect, standing at the intersection between natural art and future transformation. Specifications: • Weight: 27.20 carats • Weight in grams: 5.44 g • Dimensions: 33 x 12 x 14 mm • Origin: Gilgit Baltistan region, Pakistan • Mineral species: Kunzite spodumene • Crystal form: Large natural crystal specimen • Colour: Vivid translucent pink • Lustre: Vitreous to glassy • Transparency: Translucent with internal light transmission • Condition: Natural, unpolished, untreated specimen Notable Points: • Museum grade kunzite specimen defined by size, colour and geometry • Monumental crystal presence rarely encountered in kunzite of this quality • Vivid pink colour with strong saturation and luminous internal glow • Exceptional crystal architecture with sharp angular faces and sculptural form • High vitreous lustre enhancing depth and surface character • Strong translucency allowing light to interact richly with internal features • Natural growth structures preserved with complete authenticity • Increasingly scarce material from a classic Pakistani locality • Powerful visual impact suitable for high end mineral collections • A specimen that bridges natural artistry and gem potential Collector’s Interest: For collectors, this piece represents a true statement specimen. Kunzite of this size and quality is increasingly difficult to source, particularly when colour, structural integrity and aesthetic presence converge so harmoniously. Its commanding geometry and refined colour place it comfortably within museum level collections, while its origin and rarity ensure long term desirability among serious gemstone and mineral connoisseurs. Lapidary Interest: Beyond its specimen value, this kunzite holds remarkable lapidary potential. The combination of size, translucency and colour saturation makes it an exceptional candidate for cutting, with the capacity to yield one or multiple high value gemstones. Its internal clarity zones and vivid pink tone suggest strong brilliance and colour retention once faceted. This is a rare example of a specimen that satisfies both collectors and lapidaries at the highest level, offering the choice between preservation as a natural masterpiece or transformation into extraordinary finished gems. —————- Photography and transparency: All photos were taken under controlled light conditions, carefully selected to reproduce the most accurate natural colour of each specimen. No filters, colour enhancement, or artificial saturation were applied. The lighting setup uses a calibrated 5500K light source, which replicates neutral daylight and reveals the true tones and clarity of the mineral. Under weaker or more yellow indoor lighting, colours may appear slightly different, which is normal and expected. The purpose of this setup is to present each specimen exactly as it appears in balanced natural daylight, allowing buyers to appreciate its authentic colour and lustre without distortion.

Their origin and mineral identification are provided with the most accurate and reliable information available. Every effort is made to ensure that each piece is presented with full transparency, avoiding any misleading details regarding its nature, treatment, or provenance.
