Kim: I've always seen white kunzite, altho' I've heard of it in these shades of purple and green... Are all of your strands "natural color" or are some dyed? (I'm especially curious about the garnet, as well..." Thanks! Ruth
Some strands of gems are dyed, like the different quartzes and opals, but the kunzite that I've always carried have been in this mixed shade, so I'm pretty sure that's natural. When it is stated in the description when I purchase it, I try to relay that in my auction. All the garnets are Natural and not dyed.
You can also see in the emeralds, some state natural and others state green.. the natural are the more olive-colored ones, while the green ones are dyed to that shade, but they are all true emerald gemstones.
