Tanzanite from Merelani Hills, Tanzania. 21st Century.


Tanzanite is a highly desired zoisite that is famous for its pleochroism (the ability to exhibit different colors depending on the axis at which it’s viewed). This breathtaking piece has an extraordinary depth of tone, displaying royal blue, regal purple, and vivid red. The crystal’s elongated form, peaked termination, and sleek luster give this natural crystal a gemlike allure.
