Kornerupine is an extremely rare gem and is primarily sought after by gem collectors rather than jewelry designers. However, after more recent discoveries of rare colourful deposits found in Africa, its popularity and demand for jewellery use has increased. Kornerupine may also be traded as 'prismatine', a trade name which refers to its long prismatic crystals.
What makes kornerupine extra special is its pleochroic property, which means that it is possible to see different colours when viewed from different angles.
