Yes, this is the same mineral as tanzanite - only not from Tanzania, and not blue (in fact this is the natural base color for zoisite from anywhere else, of which tanzanite is merely a varietal that happens to have blue color) It is a relatively large crystal for the locality, and has a very pretty "stacked" structure with staggered terminations. 3.8 x 1.5 x .7 cm
