<p class="MsoNormal">Hello all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’ve had a request to loan a piece of early, very bright pink kunzite for a museum exhibition. Our chief gemologist has been unable to find any concrete information for how quickly kunzite fades and under what light and temperature conditions.
Would anyone be able to share guidelines for displaying kunzite to prevent fading?
