50.17 Ct. Cabochon Tanzanite from Tanzania

From the moment the rough stone first yielded to light deep within the foothills of Tanzania, this tanzanite began a story that balances raw earth and careful human hands. Formed where ancient geological forces converged to create pockets rich in vanadium and trace elements, the rough was gathered by miners who recognized its potential, then carried along a careful chain of custody that respects both tradition and traceability. The translucent violet hue you see now was coaxed from the mineral by both nature and skill, heat treatment gently activating and stabilizing the blue violet tones that make tanzanite so sought after. As a cabochon, the stone retains a soft, luminous surface that invites touch and contemplation, revealing movement and depth rather than sparkling facets, and its ovoid silhouette recalls the organic curves of river polished stones, a reminder that beauty often begins in quiet places far from the bustle of the city.

This is one beautiful translucent 50.17 carat oval shape violet tanzanite with dimensions of 25.80 x 19.70 x 11.70 mm, cabochon cut, clarity included evaluated at eye level, vivid color intensity, and an excellent polish, enhancement heat treated, origin Tanzania. At this significant size and with vivid color intensity, the gem carries a presence that is both noble and intimate, a color so bold it reads as a declaration rather than a whisper. The included clarity, visible at eye level, tells a story of authenticity and natural origin, each internal characteristic a fingerprint of the stone itself, evidence that this is a gem shaped by the earth and not by synthetic processes. The excellent polish enhances the cabochon form, allowing the violet core to glow from within, and the generous proportions make it ideal as a singular focal point in a bespoke setting. At The Natural Gemstone Company we respect that such a stone is more than a material, it is a partner in design, meant to be set in a manner that amplifies its personality, whether in a proud pendant that rests over the heart, a statement ring that crowns a hand, or a tailored brooch that punctuates an evening ensemble.
