KUNZITE, II NEW GEN.
Il Strange and Lovely Riral of the
amethyst.

Lovers of Jewels will be delighted TO learn that
a valuable addition has just been made to the
variety and stock Of precious stones. As cut
for mounting, the new gem, kunzite, exhibits
an exquisite lilac tint deeper than that Of the
pink sapphire or topaz. and lighter than the
purple of an Oriental amethyst.
Although the discovery of a fine quality Of
kunzite is of comparatively recent occurrence.
the existence of a poor grade and Of allied
species of the same mineral has long been
known to specialists in that department OF sci
ence. What is known as spOdumene has been
found in Brazil, where it has a yellOwish tnse
and in North Carolina, where the color is green
For that reason the latter kind. technically
known as Hddenite, is sometimes called emer-
aid. although its composition is not identical
with that OF the real emerald. Finally, small
bits OF pink spOdumene have been picked up
in Connecticut These are believed to be the
remnants of larger, and possibly handsomer,
masses, but have not possessed sufficient beauty
and size to justify consideration
The new stone, cut specimens Of which can be
seen at Tinanys, and uncut samples OF which
are to be found in the Morgan collection at the
Museum of Natural History comes from Cali
fornia. 1t has been found in two places near
Pala. San Diego County. One hardly knows
which to admire the more the exquisite cO'Orins
or the purity of the new gem Some Of the other
varieties are translucent or opaque This IS Is
clear as a diamond.
AS taken from the earth, the stone has only
slight lustre. The masses of crystal are fiat.
like cakes of camphOr gum though of a different
hue From a superficial glance one might sup
pose that they would split up into thin layers.
as mica does. However. the material is almost
as hard as the group of stones to which the

This includes the ruby, emerald amethyst and
blue sapphire. These are all forms of corurdum.
