COMPLETELY NATURAL AND UNTREATED ULTRA RARE ZOISITE (UNTREATED TANZANITE) MINED FROM TANZANIA AFRICA. THIS GEMSTONE IS OF THE ABSOLUTE FINEST AAA QUALITY. MEASURES 12X12 MM WITH A WEIGHT OF 5.94 CARATS. COMPLETELY FLAWLESS EYE CLEAN CLARITY AND VERY STRONG BRILLIANCE AND LUSTER WITH GORGEOUS RED FLASHES OF LUSTER WHICH ARE ONLY FOUND IN THE FINEST ZOISITE/TANZANITE IN THE WORLD. CUT INTO A PERFECTLY PROPORTIONED FACETED ROUND BRILLIANT CUT WITH A PREMIUM CUT GRADE. THIS GEMSTONE IS SURE TO IMPRESS ANYBODY PRIVILEGED ENOUGH TO SEE IT AND IS ONE OF THE HIGHEST QUALITY ZOISITE WE HAVE EVER SOLD. TANZANITE WAS FIRST DISCOVERED AND MARKETED BY TIFFANY & CO. WHICH WAS AND STILL IS ONE OF THE WORLDS FINEST AND MOST RECOGNIZED NAMES IN JEWELRY. THIS TANZANITE WAS MINED IN THE FIRST YEAR OR TWO AFTER THE DISCOVERY OF THE GEMSTONE. PURCHASED DIRECTLY FROM THE CUTTING CENTER TIFFANY CONTRACTED IN 1967 TO FACET THEIR TANZANITE GEMSTONES. MINED FROM A TIFFANY OWNED CLAIM WHICH IS NOW PART OF THE DEPLETED D-BLOCK MINE. THIS STONE HAS NOT BEEN HEAT TREATED SO IT DOES NOT HAVE THE PURPLE AND BLUE HUES TANZANITE IS KNOWN FOR. THIS STONE WAS MINED DURING A TIME WHEN THE CUTTING CENTERS WERE STILL SELLING TANZANITE AS ZOISITE TO FOOL THE PUBLIC INTO THINKING THEY WERE TWO ENTIRELY DIFFERENT STONES WITH TANZANITE BEING WORTH 20-15 TIMES MORE PER CARAT. THIS WAS A GENIUS MARKETING PLAN SINCE A COMPANY WAS ABLE TO TAKE A GEMSTONE AND TREAT IT (WHICH LOWERS THE VALUE OF EVERY GEMSTONE IN THE WORLD!) AND SELL IT FOR MORE.AS SOON AS THE PUBLIC STARTED LEARNING TANZANITE WAS IN FACT HEAT TREATED ZOISITE THE MINES AND CUTTING CENTERS ENDED THE SALE OF ZOISITE COMPLETELY, OR RAISING THE PRICES TO THE SAME AS TANZANITES SO MOST PEOPLE WOULD NOT BUY IT. ZOISITE IS THE SAME SPECIES OF GEMSTONE AS TANZANITE. WHEN TIFFANY AND CO FOUND AND PATENTED TANZANITE IN THE 1960'S THEY PATENTED THE PURPLISH BLUE HEAT TREATED ZOISITE. ALL TANZANITE IS BROWN, GREEN, OR YELLOW, WHEN MINED. WHILE ZOISITE'S BROWN COLOR MAY NOT BE AS APPEALING TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC, MANY GEMOLOGISTS AND JEWELERS PREFER THE NATURAL ZOISITE TO THE HEAVILY TREATED TANZANITE, AND MANY RETAIL BUYERS LIKE KNOWING THEY HAVE THE OPTION OF TREATING THE STONE LATER ON OR LEAING IT NATURAL. THE HEAT TREATMENT PROCESS IS RELATIVELY SIMPLE AND CAN BE DONE BY ANYBODY, YET WE RECOMMEND PAYING A PROFESSIONAL TO DO IT SINCE IT TYPICALLY COSTS LESS THAN $5 A CARAT....more
