2.00 Ct. Violetish Blue Tanzanite from Tanzania

This transparent 2.00 carat heart shape violetish blue tanzanite is precisely proportioned at 7.90 x 8.08 x 5.04 mm, presenting a refined combination of form and optical performance. The cutting style is faceted with a mixed brilliant cut, a geometric faceting scheme that merges the scintillating crown pattern of brilliant facets with a pavilion design optimized for strong light return. The heart outline is carefully rendered with symmetrical lobes and a well defined cleft, preserving the iconic silhouette while allowing an even distribution of light across the surface. The facet junctions are uniformly executed, and the excellent polish enhances surface reflectivity, permitting maximum interaction between incident light and the internal facet planes for lively brilliance and scintillation. The eye clean clarity, assessed at typical viewing distance, ensures unobstructed light travel through the stone, enabling vivid flashes of violetish blue and distinct internal contrast that accentuate the tanzanite’s intense color intensity.

The stone is heat treated, a stable and customary enhancement that refines the natural hue without compromising structural integrity, and it is sourced from Tanzania, the classical origin for fine tanzanite. The mixed brilliant faceting geometry maximizes light play by creating balanced pathways for light to enter, refract, and reflect internally before exiting toward the viewer, producing a compelling interplay of brightness, color saturation, and small bright flashes known as scintillation. For settings, styles that expose the crown and allow unobstructed viewing will best showcase the optical design, while secure mounting is recommended to protect the delicate heart outline. Routine cleaning with warm soapy water and a soft brush will maintain the polish and transparency, and the heat treatment should remain stable under normal wear conditions. The Natural Gemstone Company presents this heart shape tanzanite as an example of meticulous cutting and material quality, combining an exacting mixed brilliant faceting plan, intense color, and excellent polish to yield a gem with pronounced light performance and enduring visual appeal.
