3.60 Ct. Violet Cabochon Tanzanite from Tanzania

This translucent violet tanzanite presents as a 3.60 carat cushion shape cabochon, with precise dimensions of 8.45 x 8.41 x 5.17 mm. The cabochon cutting style emphasizes the stone’s internal glow and translucency, yielding a smooth domed surface and an excellent polish that enhances hand movement and wearability. Color is assessed as intense violet, a saturation that remains vivid under typical viewing conditions. Clarity is graded as included when evaluated at eye level, consistent with natural tanzanite specimens and often complementary to cabochon cutting, where internal characteristics can add depth and visual interest rather than detract from overall appeal. The stone has undergone standard heat treatment, a stable and widely accepted enhancement within the trade that refines hue and uniformity, and this treatment is fully disclosed. The material originates from Tanzania, and the gem’s proportions and finish make it suitable for bespoke settings where the cabochon form is desired, such as pendants, statement rings, or artisan bezel work.

The Natural Gemstone Company provides full disclosure about this piece, and sourcing practices are described to support a thoughtful, conscious acquisition. The company works with local partners in Tanzania to establish traceability from mine to market, and to encourage fair practices that respect labor and community welfare. Where formal certifications are not applicable, The Natural Gemstone Company documents provenance, treatment history, and handling recommendations to enable informed ownership. For the conscious collector, this tanzanite represents a considered choice: a naturally occurring material with transparent treatment disclosure, measured aesthetic attributes, and sourcing that emphasizes accountability. Care for the stone is straightforward, avoid abrasive cleaners and extreme thermal shock, and have settings inspected periodically to preserve the cabochon surface and polish. This specimen complements a collection focused on ethically aware acquisitions and quality craftsmanship, offering an intense violet presence, stable enhancement disclosure, and a clear chain of custody supported by The Natural Gemstone Company.
