Spodumene

About Spodumene

Spodumene is a pyroxene mineral prized for its gem-quality varieties Kunzite (pink to violet) and Hiddenite (green). It is known for its clarity and strong pleochroism, which makes the colors shift when viewed from different angles. Spodumene is primarily sourced from Brazil, Afghanistan, Madagascar, and the USA. Its vibrant hues and transparency make it a desirable gemstone for collectors and fine jewelry, especially in well-cut faceted stones.
