Zoisite var. Tanzanite, Pink & Yellow
Merelani, Tanzania
2.76 g / 13.82 carats, 18.5 mm x 9.68 mm x 7.88 mm
Here is an amazing all natural crystal of Tanzanite.
The crystal is well formed with perfect termination.
It has amazing pink, pinkish purple and yellow coloring, and has a spot of blue deep inside near the base.
No filters needed to see these beautiful color changes due to its natural trichroism.
The crystal does show some twinning as well.
Natural pink crystals are not easy to come by, especially this clean, once you can see past the surface striations.
This was purchased as facet rough, having a large clean cuttable area in it, but thought it was worth saving as a beautiful single crystal specimen.
So much better in person!
