A wonderful Tanzanite - true investment grade. A dreamy, intense, unparalleled blue; very deep color saturation. Flawless and well cut. A classic block D stone, with striking, explosive violet flashes. High levels of brilliance due to a myriad of facets on the pavilion. A very fine Tanzanite indeed.

     

TANZANITE Tanzanite is an extraordinary gemstone. It occurs in only one place worldwide. Its blue, surrounded by a fine hint of purple, is a wonderful color. Tanzanite is a blue variety of the gemstone Zoisite. It consists of calcium aluminum silicate and is not particularly hard, having a value of 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs scale. For that reason, it should always be worn carefully and never placed in an ultrasonic bath for cleaning or brought into contact with acids. Tanzanite is the blue/purple variety of the mineral zoisite discovered in the Meralani  Hills of northern Tanzania in 1967, near the city of Arusha. However most tanzanite is subjected to artificial heat treatment to improve its color
