“A doubly terminated, gemmy and lustrous, purple-pink kunzite crystal from the much less well-known San Pedro Mine on Hiriart Mountain, San Diego County, California. Over the years the mines of the Pala district have produced a significant amount of kunzite, much of it being of high quality. I think that kunzite specimens from San Diego are far better than what you can get from Afghanistan an are rivaled only by the kunzite from Brazil. Specimens from Pala such as this one are not easy to find these days as Hiriart Mountain was reverted back to the Pala Tribe in 1992. ”
