2.81 Ct. Tanzanite from Tanzania

In the cool lavender light before dawn a rough crystal first revealed itself in the Mererani hills of Tanzania, born from the slow alchemy of earth and time, and destined to become a jewel that marks a moment of love. Our miners, guided by generations of knowledge and respect for the land, gently freed this treasure from its rock, seeing in its rough face the promise of a deep, violetish blue that seemed to hold a piece of the African sky. From that first stirring of wonder the story of this gem began, a story carried across continents with care, provenance, and a commitment to ethical sourcing, a story that The Natural Gemstone Company is proud to tell. This is a transparent 2.81 carat cushion shape violetish blue tanzanite, a gem whose journey speaks of patience, craft, and the human desire to give something lasting and beautiful.

In the hands of master cutters the rough transformed, each facet planned and placed to coax out fire and depth, to reveal the very soul of the stone. The cutter chose a mixed brilliant cut to balance lively brilliance with pleasing depth, the cushion shape softening the geometry into something intimate and wearable, the final dimensions arriving at 7.45 by 7.42 by 6.68 mm, a size that feels substantial yet elegant. Heat treated enhancement brought forth an intense color intensity that seems to change with every tilt of the wrist, and meticulous workmanship achieved an excellent polish that sends light dancing from every angle. Under careful examination the clarity grade reads eye clean, evaluated at eye level, which means the gaze meets pure color and light before it notices anything else, a clarity that makes the gem sing in simple, honest beauty.

Now displayed by The Natural Gemstone Company this tanzanite arrives ready to become part of your story, whether set into a promise ring, a pendant that rests above the heart, or kept as a cherished heirloom to pass between generations. Imagine the moment this violetish blue jewel catches the light at a wedding, at an anniversary, on an ordinary morning turned extraordinary, the stone offering a private joy that speaks of memory and devotion. We present this gem with full respect for its origins and with expert knowledge of its qualities, transparent about its enhancement by heat treatment, transparent about its Tanzanian roots, and transparent about the care taken from mine to market. Hold it, and feel how the earth becomes voice, how color becomes confession, how one 2.81 carat tanzanite can make a memory radiant and real.
