Bi-color single Tanzanite crystal with an attached cluster of yellow Prehnite. Such combos are uncommon, but when you do find one, they make for highly beautiful specimens due to the contrast of color and form. The Tanzanite is purple with a transparent yellow zone at the termination. Highly glassy and undamaged, though the lower half of the back face is contacted. One the most visually stunning Tanzanites I've ever owned.
