Fabulous combination specimen with fine crystals of Diopside (cluster of 2 sharply formed crystals), Graphite, and small bladed, unidentified white crystals on a double terminated Tanzanite. The Tanzanite is double terminated, color-zoned, and has a sharply pointed termination with central gem zones. The Tanzanite has been heated and has been priced accordingly, however this is a special piece regardless.
