Description from the seller

Raw crystal with intense purplish-blue reflections, enhanced by its clear transparency and remarkable internal play of light. The natural reliefs and partially crystallized edges give this gem a sculptural appearance, characteristic of tanzanites extracted without heat treatment. This stone perfectly illustrates the unique appeal of Tanzanite, a gem discovered only in 1967 at the foot of Kilimanjaro, and whose only global deposit remains in the Merelani Hills, in Tanzania.

Features:

Weight: 3.00 carats
Dimensions: 10.8 × 8 × 5.3 mm (L × W × H)
Origin: Tanzania (Merelani Hills)
Color: Bright purplish blue
Crystallization / Form: Raw crystal, sharp edges and reliefs, areas of transparency

Particularities

Intense reflections reinforcing internal contrast
Interesting transparency for an unheated crude
A piece of beautiful presence, with a size suitable for collection or size

Conclusion:

A rough Tanzanite representative of gem-quality gems from the Merelani Hills, both rare and aesthetic, ready to join a display case or specialist collection.
