Pink Lilac Kunzite Cushion Cut Gemstone, 49.60 CT, Afghanistan

A Flawless 49.60 Carat Pink Lilac Kunzite Gemstone

This kunzite gemstone weighs 49.60 carats, cut in a cushion shape and measuring 23 x 18 x 16 mm, a genuinely large stone for a faceted gem, well above the size most jewelers see come through in this material. The color sits in the lilac to pink range kunzite is known for, and the clarity grade is flawless, meaning no visible inclusions under standard magnification, which is a demanding standard for a stone this size.

Kunzite is a variety of spodumene, and its pastel color range makes it a common choice for pendants and larger statement pieces where a bold center stone matters more than extreme hardness. At 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs hardness scale, it's workable for jewelry but does better in pieces that see less daily impact, such as pendants or earrings, compared to a ring worn constantly. A stone at this carat weight is well suited to a custom jewelry commission or as a standalone collector's gem, since flawless kunzite at nearly 50 carats doesn't come to market often.
