Natural Tanzanite // 53.32 Grams

Located in New York, NY

Discovered in 1967 and sourced in only one location on earth – Merelani Hills, Tanzania, near Mt. Kilimanjaro – enigmatic blue-violet or violet-blue tanzanite is one of the rarest and most prized gemstones on earth. A translucent variety of zoisite, this pleochroic crystal can show red-violet, yellow-green, and blue. Most tanzanite on the market has been heat treated to enhance the blue and violet tones and reduce the yellow-green, but this spectacular specimen is completely natural, which means that its pleochroism remains fully intact. Tanzanite was first brought to the United States from Tanzania by Julio Tanjeloff and was initially called tanjeloffite. It was later renamed by Tiffany & Co. This over 50-gram indigo gem crystal specimen...
