This 5.90 carat emerald cut tanzanite is a rare combination of size, clarity, and color that will satisfy an educated buyer seeking a true statement gem, the dimensions 10.94 x 8.19 x 7.14 mm give it a substantial face up presence without overwhelming most settings, the emerald cut with its long step facets emphasizes both the stone geometry and the purity of color, the vivid violetish blue saturation is the hallmark of high quality tanzanite and the vivid color intensity reported here ensures dramatic visual impact under both daylight and incandescent lighting, the clarity grade eye clean as evaluated at eye level means that no inclusions are visible to the unaided eye in normal viewing, this attribute elevates the stone because emerald cuts reveal internal characteristics more readily than mixed cuts, the excellent polish indicates precise facet junctions and a bright surface finish which together maximize light return and the perceptible brilliance of the gem.
From a gemological perspective the origin of this tanzanite is Tanzania, the source region for gem grade tanzanite and an important factor in provenance and market desirability, the stone has been heat treated which is an industry standard enhancement used to convert the natural brownish pleochroic colors to the attractive blue violet hues collectors and connoisseurs prefer, this treatment is stable and permanent when performed correctly and is widely accepted in the trade, given the stone size and its eye clean clarity the gem is particularly well suited for a museum style solitaire ring, a halo setting that enhances perceived size, or a pendant intended to be the focal point of fine jewelry, because tanzanite has a Mohs hardness around six to seven a protective setting design is advisable for rings that will be worn often, The Natural Gemstone Company offers this example as a premium statement specimen for discerning buyers who value documented origin, transparent grading notes, and superior workmanship in both cut and polish.
