Tanzanite

Item Description

A gemmy and lustrous cluster of tabular, tapered tanzanite crystals. The primary crystals have very gemmy terminations on this pristine, complete all-around beauty. The bit of matrix on one side adds character. The 2-sided, pleochroism color of this not heat-treated crystal is classic: the A, frontal face is a beautiful blue; and the B, side faces are a vivid purple. The base is too heavily included to give C-axis color. The termination is very gemmy and HIGHLY REPRESENTATIVE of the species and locale. It has distinctive, 2-sided pleochroism and it will not cost you an arm and leg. 35.22 carats or just over 7 grams. Valued $1000-1200
