 Natural Kunzite
Kunzite is the pink to light purple gem variety of the mineral Spodumene.Although kunzite is a relatively soft and delicate gem, and can fade after prolonged exposure to light, its appealing color makes it a popular gem. Small gems are seldom cut from kunzite because of its cleavage and strong pleochroism. It is rarely seen in rings, necklaces, or any other forms of jewelry where small stones are required.

|  Natural Rhodochrosite
Rhodochrosite is a manganese carbonate mineral with chemical composition MnCO3. The pink color of rhodochrosite is caused by the element manganese and it is formed when manganese is dissolved by ground water and combines with a carbonate material and then drips off the ceiling of caves and crevices deep underground.Rhodochrosite often forms pink and white bands. It is often carved into figurines or boxes while the tubular stalactite formations are often sliced for use in jewelry. Fine gem quality crystals are sometimes cut into gemstones for use in high end jewelry, but the more common grade is used extensively in silver and gold jewelry.
