It forms as elongated, striated prismatic crystals and is strongly pleochroic, showing different colours along different crystal axes. It was named after the gemologist George Frederick Kunz, chief gemologist of Tiffany and Co, who first described it in 1902. The material is sourced chiefly from Afghanistan, Brazil, and Madagascar, with further deposits in the United States and Pakistan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuturaSol Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nEach natural stone is selected for its authenticity, geological integrity, and energetic clarity.
