Single 'Cobalt Blue' Tanzanite crystal from a small recent find. This color, a deep almost silky blue that reminds me of Kashmir Sapphire, is only rarely found (I've only seen it found twice) and reportedly only from one small artisanal mine in the deposit. These crystals are never very large. Crystallized all around with a stepped termination.
