Gem quality Tanzanite crystal, clean and undamaged with high luster. This is a natural, unheated crystal that is trichroic - blue in
the wide face, purple when viewed from the side, with a red color when looking down from the top. Tanzanite is found in only one locality in
the entire world - prices are reasonable now but will likely escalate rapidly when the mines are inevitably exhausted.
