Spodumene

Natural Spodumene & Kunzite Gemstones — Direct from Source

This collection brings together natural Spodumene gemstones in every form a buyer may need — raw crystals, faceting rough, loose faceted stones, mineral specimens, and finished pendants. All material is sourced directly from Afghanistan, the world's primary origin for gem-quality Kunzite, the pink-to-lilac variety of Spodumene. Every listing in this collection is based on actual stock with verified weights, origins, and clarity grades.

What This Collection Includes

Faceting Rough & Raw Parcels
The largest category in this collection is Spodumene Kunzite faceting rough — sold in parcels ranging from 40 grams to 2 kilograms. Pieces vary in color from pink, lilac, yellow, and green to colourless, with clarity grades from VS to Eye Clean. Parcel prices start at $60 and scale to $2,200 for bulk kilogram deals, making them accessible for both individual cutters and wholesale buyers.

Loose Faceted Kunzite Stones
Pre-cut Kunzite is available in emerald cut, pear, oval, round, and trillion shapes. Individual stones and parcel deals are both listed. A 50-carat parcel of Afghan Kunzite in mixed cuts is priced at $1,000, while a matched emerald-cut pair of 6 carats is available at $250 — practical options for jewelers sourcing calibrated or near-calibrated material.

Mineral Specimens & Display Crystals
Raw Spodumene crystals with natural terminations are listed as mineral specimens for collectors. Examples include a 66.2-gram lilac Kunzite crystal and a 175-gram yellow Spodumene with matrix Black Tourmaline — both from Afghanistan. Prices for specimens start at $60.

Mixed Gem Parcels Featuring Kunzite

How to Select the Right Product

Start by identifying your intended use: faceting, jewelry setting, collecting, or resale. Each listing states the total weight, piece count, size range, clarity grade, color, and origin. If you need a specific carat weight or color grade not shown, contact us — we carry additional stock not always listed online. For faceting buyers, check the clarity grade first; Eye Clean material yields the best cut results. For collectors, review the specimen dimensions and termination quality noted in each listing.

Why Source Spodumene from Folkmarketgems

We source directly from mining regions in Afghanistan, which means no middlemen and accurate origin documentation. Every product listing includes the actual weight, piece count, clarity, color, and origin — not estimated or generic values. We have supplied gem cutters, jewelers, and collectors across multiple countries and maintain consistent stock of Afghan Kunzite in raw, rough, and faceted forms. Wholesale inquiries are welcome and handled directly.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Spodumene and Kunzite?

Spodumene is the mineral species. Kunzite is the pink-to-lilac gem variety of Spodumene. Yellow Spodumene is sometimes called Triphane. All products in this collection are varieties of the Spodumene mineral group.

Most raw and faceting rough listed here is untreated. Some faceted Kunzite parcels are noted as heated in the product description. Treatment status is stated on each individual listing — check before purchasing.

What clarity should I look for when buying Kunzite for faceting?

Eye Clean to Loupe Clean material produces the best faceted results. Several parcels in this collection are graded VS to Eye Clean. Avoid heavily included material for faceting; it is better suited for cabbing or collection.
