[edit] Kunzite

Kunzite: a note of correction on the listing on kunzite for Wikipedia.


Pale pink kunzite was discovered in 1902 in the Pala District of San Diego County in California.


As a side note: In actual practice "discovering as in pick and shovel" Kunzite was dicovered by a miner and lapidarist in San Diego. The application of the name of Kunzite to the stone might be considered as an "honerariam" granted to Mr. Kuntz.


Just the notice of a error in fact (according to my humble knowledge). Also a question, where did Conneticut come into the picture.

If you would like a full blown reseach verification, I can do that, but it will be pretty boring. Really it was found here in San Diego.

[edit] Hiddenite content moved

Moved the recently added info re: hiddenite to its own article. The info was quite dated and swamped the spodumene article. Feel free to update the no longer a redirect hiddenite page. Vsmith 02:59, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
