12.61 Ct. Tanzanite from Tanzania

This remarkable tanzanite presented by The Natural Gemstone Company is an object of rare desire, a jewel that transcends fashion and speaks to the collector who understands true rarity and refinement. At 12.61 carat, this oval shape gem occupies a realm of scarcity where most tanzanites seldom tread. Its generous dimensions of 15.74 x 13.03 x 8.86 mm give it a commanding presence, a scale that allows the violetish blue hue to unfurl with depth and nuance. In a market where vivid color and substantial weight rarely coexist, this stone asserts itself as a singular treasure. The tone that reads as violetish blue is unusually saturated, a vivid intensity that sets it apart from the common blue violet material frequently seen, and that intense color is distributed with remarkable uniformity across the table and facets. For the connoisseur seeking a statement of achievement, this tanzanite will be perceived at once as a demonstration of impeccable taste and as an emblem of exclusivity.

The gem is cut to a mixed brilliant facet design, a choice that balances scintillation and depth, producing flashes that speak to both fire and body color. Clarity has been evaluated as eye clean at eye level, a clarity grade that permits the gem to convey uninterrupted optical beauty to the naked eye, while the excellent polish allows light to enter and return with minimal impediment. Enhancement by heat treatment has been applied, a standard and accepted practice that has revealed and stabilized the exquisite violetish blue character of this stone. Its origin in Tanzania confers further desirability, as the land from which tanzanite was first discovered remains the benchmark for provenance and story. In size, color, and clarity this tanzanite stands above the ordinary lot of gemstones, and in hand it offers a scale seldom available, an opportunity to wear a gem that reads as both museum quality and intensely wearable.

To own this tanzanite is to own a chapter of natural artistry that few will be able to replicate, and The Natural Gemstone Company is proud to present it to those who appreciate gemstones as cultural icons as well as as investments in beauty. We offer guidance for setting this oval gem in a bespoke ring or pendant design that complements its proportions and showcases its vivid color, and we encourage consideration of metals and mountings that will allow light to play across the table and crown.
