Meticulously fashioned into a graceful oval measuring 9.05 by 6.75 by 5.04 millimeters, this gem offers a presence that reads equally well on the hand or as the centerpiece of a bespoke pendant. Its intense color intensity reveals a sumptuous blue with subtle violet undertones, a chromatic signature that tanzanite aficionados associate with the finest examples from Tanzania, the sole source of this extraordinary mineral. Fully transparent to the eye, the stone invites the beholder to linger in its depths, where concentrated color and lucid clarity converge to create a luminous, velvety field that seems to glow from within.
Cut to maximize life and scintillation, the mixed brilliant facet arrangement gives this oval tanzanite an evocative play of light that is at once lively and refined, a sophisticated balance that speaks to expert lapidary skill. The pavilion facets are oriented to return light with lively scintillation, while the crown geometry scatters delicate flashes that enliven the surface with scintillating fire, bringing movement to each tilt and turn. With a clarity grading of very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, inclusions are discreet, confirming that the visual purity of the gem is preserved for admiration without distraction. The polish is excellent, each facet meeting and finishing with a mirror like consistency that intensifies the gem’s luster and allows the vivid blue violet color to read as pure and saturated. Importantly for the true connoisseur, this tanzanite is natural and untreated, no enhancement, a pristine example of nature’s artistry preserved by skilled hands, provenance traced to the storied deposits of Tanzania.
