Description from the seller
This raw Tanzanite already reveals its exceptional quality at first glance: a vibrant, deep blue that transforms under light into an almost supernatural glow. The natural transparency of the crystal clearly shows its inner fire – a rare feature, as most rough pieces appear significantly cloudier. The fine, glass-like structures inside give the stone impressive depth, while the characteristic blue to slightly violet hues flow elegantly into each other.
The rough surface also possesses its own unique charm: it reveals the natural structure of the zoisite crystal with its parallel lines and mineral inclusions, emphasizing the authenticity and originality of this piece. Under strong light, the tanzanite reveals an intense, almost electric blue – a effect that makes it a unique collector's item.
Tanzanite is one of the most sought-after gemstones in the world, not least because of its extremely limited sources and the growing demand among collectors and mineral enthusiasts. This piece combines rarity, natural character, and visual brilliance in an impressive way – a stone that makes an extraordinary impact both in a high-quality collection and as a decorative standalone piece.
