Tanzanite (rare green color)

Item Description

Tanzanite is among the most popular colored stones in the world. The beautiful color of the material combined with the fact that it is only found in one place in the world keeps the demand high worldwide. Typically, most people associate Tanzanite with the colors blue and purple, but there are several shades of less common material including pink, yellow, orange and green. This "tapered bagueete" cut gem has a unique color combination, showing primarily a green hue, but you can see a bit of a blue tone when the gem is rotated one direction, and more of a yellow shade in the other direction. This combination of colors is due to the strong pleochroism of the material, which shows defined color changes when the pieces are viewed on a different axis. A rare example of Tanzanite in terms of the unique coloring, and a great piece to add to any suite of Tanzanite gems or multi-colored stones.
