Within the world of gemstones, it is rare to encounter stones that are purely colorless. Generally speaking, most gems receive their unique and vibrant colors as the result of impurities within their composition. Join us as we present Xia Kunzite, a pure and brilliant variety of spodumene.
Darkest Depths, Brightest Light
This celestial gem has only surfaced within the last few years. Hailing from the country of Brazil, a land renowned for incredible jewels, miners knew that they had found something special when the rough material was first unearthed.
Within the gem market, exotic kunzite is typically known to be a delicate, soft pink. Occasionally, specimens may be instead tinged with green. Xia Kunzite is special, however. Free of impurities, this gemstone is completely colorless, on par with the finest ‘D’ grade diamonds.
Liquidation Channel benefits from its close relationships with gem experts and mine owners. And with this find, we once again were fortunate to have this opportunity. When Milton Godinho, the mine’s owner, shared this emerging find, we acted. Immediately, plans were made to purchase this newly unearthed material. Over the course of the next two years, we continued to acquire any and all produced material possible.

Love, love, this beautiful ring, I my so greatful to Tenna for bringing this stone to LC.
Your Hosts and Gem Specialists are so knowledgeable and Wonderful. Thank You, Margaret
That’s great, Margaret! Thanks for letting us know.
Why has Xia Kunzite been presented as a “world premier” when this can be found on many sites on Google? From what Tanner was saying on the show tonight with Dionne I was under the impression no one else has this gemstone. But this is not the case and I’m a little disappointed at the inference of it being exclusive to LC. Thank you for any information you can give me to clear this up.
Hi Donna,
We’re sorry for the confusion here. Xia Kunzite is definitely a world premiere for Liquidation Channel. We’ve never offered this gemstone before and the show was the first time we’ve been able to bring it to market. Thank you for taking the time to comment and share your concern!
