A most unusual combination piece of matrix tanzanite, featuring two crossed crystals enveloped in a blanket of calcite. Minor diopside and graphite are also present. The tanzanite crystals measure 3.5 and 3 cm in length. One in particular is very bright and sparkly, the other darker and more intense in color. Such matrix associations are highly unusual!
