Footnote: Named for the mineralogist and jeweller, George Frederick Kunz, who first catalogued it in 1902, kunzite is the pink to violet variety of the silicate, spodumene. The first significant commercial deposit was discovered in 1902 in the Pala region of San Diego, California. However, the most important deposits of kunzite are from Minas Gerais, Brazil. Most of the current supply is from Afghanistan and Pakistan.
