About spodumene
Spodumene is a lithium aluminum silicate mineral that forms large prismatic crystals. Its main gem varieties are kunzite (pink to lilac, colored by manganese) and hiddenite (green, colored by chromium or vanadium). With Mohs hardness 6.5–7 but distinct cleavage and a tendency to fracture, spodumene is somewhat fragile in jewelry and better suited to carefully worn pieces.
