This 1.41 carat oval blue tanzanite from Tanzania exemplifies the qualities that informed buyers seek, the dimensions measure 7.89 by 5.90 by 4.51 mm, the shape is a classic oval and the mixed brilliant cut has been chosen to maximize both color and scintillation. The stone presents a vivid color intensity with a strong, saturated blue that reads immediately to the eye, the clarity is graded very slightly included when evaluated at eye level which means the internal characteristics are minimal and do not detract from the gem s overall appearance, the polish is excellent yielding crisp facet junctions and lively surface reflection. Heat treatment has been applied, which is the industry standard for tanzanite to enhance the desirable blue violet tones, the origin is Tanzania and this provenance is central to the gem s rarity and desirability, The Natural Gemstone Company stands behind the disclosure of both treatment and origin, and we offer detailed information to support informed purchasing decisions.
From a gemological perspective the combination of vivid color intensity, a mixed brilliant facet arrangement, and the very slightly included clarity grade makes this tanzanite particularly attractive to an educated collector or investor. The mixed brilliant cut blends pavilion and crown facet styles to balance color saturation with light return, this approach often preserves the deep blue color while creating lively sparkle in motion. Very slightly included evaluated at eye level indicates that inclusions are so minor that they do not interrupt the visual impact of the stone, and because they are not obvious they do not materially affect the perceived size or brilliance when set. Heat treatment in tanzanite is a stable and widely accepted enhancement that converts brownish or greenish zoisite material into the desirable blue violet hue, the treatment is permanent under normal wear conditions and is fully disclosed here to maintain transparency with purchasers who prioritize ethical and documented sourcing.
Durability is an important consideration for any colored gemstone, and tanzanite rates approximately six to seven on the Mohs hardness scale, commonly cited around 6.5, this places it well below hard stones such as sapphire and ruby which are nine, and diamond which is ten, and closer to gems like tourmaline and peridot. That relative softness means that while tanzanite is suitable for most types of fine jewelry including pendants and earrings, rings intended for everyday wear should be designed with protective settings or guards to minimize edge and facet abrasion. Care recommendations include avoiding mechanical impact and hard knocks, cleaning with warm soapy water and a soft brush, and avoiding harsh chemicals or steam cleaning that can risk surface damage, professional inspections of prongs and settings at regular intervals will help preserve the stone s beauty and security over time. For the educated buyer seeking provenance, aesthetic quality, and practical guidance, this 1.41 carat vivid blue tanzanite represents an exceptional balance of color, cut, and clarity, and The Natural Gemstone Company is committed to providing clear documentation of treatment and origin, expert advice on settings and care, and responsible sourcing from Tanzania to ensure long term value and enjoyment.
