1.85 Ct. Tanzanite from Tanzania

When you are searching for a centerpiece that answers the desire for something rare, elegant, and emotionally meaningful, this 1.85 carat Tanzanite from The Natural Gemstone Company arrives as the ideal solution. Measuring 6.89 by 6.85 by 4.89 millimeters, the gem is cut in an Asscher octagon shape, a classic profile that marries vintage Art Deco geometry with modern refinement. The vivid violetish blue hue catches the eye at first glance, and the excellent polish brings out a hall of mirrors effect from the step facets that is a hallmark of a true Asscher, creating a deep, crystalline depth that seems to glow from within. Clarity is graded very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which means the stone reads clean to the eye while retaining natural character, and its 1.85 carat weight gives you a presence on the hand that is substantial without overpowering. If you are looking for an engagement stone that combines timeless style with uncommon color, or a collector piece that highlights provenance and craftsmanship, this Tanzanite answers that call.

Beyond the physical measurements and cut quality, this Tanzanite speaks to the discerning buyer who values both origin and responsible enhancement. Sourced from Tanzania, the single place where Tanzanite naturally occurs, the stone carries provenance that collectors prize. The vivid color intensity is the result of careful heat treatment, a stable and widely accepted enhancement in the trade that unlocks the stone s inherent violet blue without altering its structural integrity. The Asscher cut maximizes color and optical performance for step cut stones, creating broad facets that emphasize color zoning and clarity, rather than sparkle alone, so the viewer experiences rich color play and elegant light return. The very slightly included clarity grade means you get excellent transparency and a gem that photographs beautifully as an engagement ring center or sits proudly in a collection cabinet, and the excellent polish ensures smooth facets that set and secure cleanly in a high quality mounting.

For those who seek a gemstone that serves both aesthetic and soulful needs, Tanzanite carries a long tradition of metaphysical associations that many find compelling. Believed to stimulate intuition and spiritual insight, Tanzanite is often linked to the third eye and throat energy centers, supporting clearer inner vision and more authentic communication. It is reputed to facilitate transition and personal transformation, helping wearers navigate change with calm confidence, while its violetish blue tones are thought to soothe stress and encourage emotional balance. Collectors and wearers alike often report that a fine Tanzanite encourages creative thinking and empathy, qualities that make it a meaningful choice for an engagement piece that symbolizes mutual growth, or for a collector seeking a gem that resonates beyond beauty. At The Natural Gemstone Company we stand behind the quality and origin of this stone, and we are happy to advise on settings that protect the step cut corners and preserve the gem s beauty for generations. If you want a gem that closes the search and begins a legacy, this Asscher octagon Tanzanite is a perfect match.
