LARGE - 126ct / 6cm Blue / Purple Tanzanite Crystal Point – TAN-01

Details: 126ct / 25g – 6.2 x 1.8 x 1 cm

Origin: Merelani Hills, Tanzania.

Enrich your crystal collection or decorate your home with this beautiful Large 1206ct Blue / Purple Tanzanite Point.

Tanzanite is the blue and violet variety of the mineral Zoisite (a calcium aluminium hydroxyl sorosilicate). The color is caused by small amounts of Vanadium. Tanzanite is only found in Simanjiro District of Manyara Region in Tanzania, in a very small mining area approximately 7 km long and 2 km wide near the Merelani Hills.

Points this large are extremely hard to come by. This piece has a beautiful clarity across a large part of the crystal and features a large main termination, and two smaller terminations on the base of the piece, along with the section where the crystal was originally removed.
