Single Tanzanite crystal with a Pyrite crystal attached to one side. Pyrite is not unusual from Merelani, but Tanzanite specimens with attached Pyrite are fairly uncommon, especially those with the pyrite perched so aesthetically on the Tanzanite. The Tanzanite is also a bi-color with a yellow termination over a blue body color. Unusual addition to a Merelani suite.
