Item Description

Rare colored zoisites were prominently featured in the 2009 Mineralogical Record issue on the Merlani Tanzanite Mines. This superb gem cutie is commonly referred to as yellow zoisite. The striking fluted notch on one side and complex parallel-growth really add pizzazz! A outstanding pristine example of the rare species from this famous locale. 31.68 carats. MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!!! The gemminess, glassiness and multiple faces made photography difficult. Valued at $2000
