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.
