2.16 Ct. Tanzanite from Tanzania

Imagine holding a moment of twilight in the palm of your hand, a jewel that carries the hush of a deep sky and the pulse of a remembered first kiss, presented by The Natural Gemstone Company. This extraordinary transparent tanzanite weighs 2.16 carat, shaped into a graceful oval that measures 9.05 by 6.75 by 5.04 mm, and it has been fashioned with a mixed brilliant cut to capture and return light with lively flashes of blue and violet. Its clarity grade is very slightly included evaluated at eye level, a testament to the gemologist approved clarity that remains strikingly eye clean. The color intensity is intense, and an excellent polish ensures every facet sings. Heat treated to reveal its signature blue and violet hues, and originating from the rare and legendary mines of Tanzania, this tanzanite is more than a stone, it is a story waiting to be set into a cherished ring, pendant, or heirloom piece.

The hue and tone of this tanzanite are where its soul resides, a blue so saturated with violet undertones that it seems to glow from within, inviting longing and admiration. Compared to the cornflower blues of Kashmir sapphires, which lean towards a velvety pure blue with a soft, muted tone, this tanzanite brings a brighter, more electric infusion of violet that makes it feel modern and sensual. Against Sri Lankan sapphires, which often present a lighter, more transparent blue with a sunny, open tone, our Tanzanian gem reads deeper and more mysterious, carrying a twilight quality that suggests evenings and promises rather than daylight declarations. When held beside Australian sapphires that can run to inky, steely tones, this tanzanite breathes a livelier, more luminous life, and when imagined next to the rare purple of Alexandrite under certain lights, its violet leanings whisper of color magic without the dramatic color change, offering a steady, beguiling blue violet in most settings.

The way light plays through the mixed brilliant cut is an affair of fire and finesse, each facet coaxing out flashes of indigo, royal blue, and soft violet, creating a living display that shifts as your heart quickens and your hand moves. The clarity grade of very slightly included evaluated at eye level means minute, natural inclusions are present but do not mar the beauty seen by the eye, instead they attest to authenticity and origin, like tiny signatures from deep time. Heat treatment has been applied, as is standard and accepted in the trade, to reveal the stone s most desirable hues, enhancing its intense color intensity while maintaining natural character. Compared to gemstones from other famous locations, this tanzanite holds a unique place, combining the saturated glamour you might associate with Kashmir, the vibrancy found in the best Ceylon stones, and a personality that is distinctly Tanzanian, carrying a geological narrative from the foothills of Kilimanjaro that is both exotic and intimately human.
