BIG 3.10 CARAT AAA QUALITY UNTREATED TANZANITE / ZOISITE LOOSE GEMSTONE - ROYAL QUALITY GEMSTONE

BIG 3.10 CARAT AAA QUALITY UNTREATED TANZANITE / ZOISITE LOOSE GEMSTONE - ROYAL QUALITY GEMSTONE

Lot # 2A      

COMPLETELY NATURAL AND UNTREATED ULTRA RARE ZOISITE (UNTREATED TANZANITE) MINED FROM TANZANIA AFRICA. THIS GEMSTONE IS OF THE ABSOLUTE FINEST AAA QUALITY. MEASURES 12X9 M...moreM WITH A WEIGHT OF 3.10 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 PEAR SHAPED 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.

BEAUTIFUL MARQUISE CUT TANZANITE FULL OF BRILLIANCE AND LUSTER - PRETTY PURPLISH BLUE COLOR

BEAUTIFUL MARQUISE CUT TANZANITE FULL OF BRILLIANCE AND LUSTER - PRETTY PURPLISH BLUE COLOR

Lot # 186      

NATURAL TANZANITE LOOSE GEMSTONE WITH EXCELLENT INVESTMENT QUALITY. PERFECTLY FACETED INTO A MARQUISE SHAPED BRILLIANT CUT WITH A PREMIUM CUT GRADE. EXCELLENT VIOLET PURP...moreLISH BLUE COLOR WITH SLIGHT RED UNDERTONES AND EYE CLEAN FLAWLESS CLARITY. VERY STRONG BRILLIANCE AND LUSTER. MEASURES 8X4 MM WITH A WEIGHT OF 0.49 CARATS. TANZANITE IS CURRENTLY ONE OF THE MOST VALUABLE AND POPULAR GEMSTONES IN THE OPEN MARKET. ORIGINALLY IT WAS DISCOVERED BY TIFFANY AND CO IN THE LATE 1960'S WHEN ONE OF THEIR GEMOLOGISTS TRAVELED TO TANZANIA AFRICA AND FOUND A VEIN OF BROWNISH COLORED CRYSTALS WITH EXCELLENT LUSTER AND SCINTILLATION. THIS KNEWLY DISCOVERED GEMSTONE WAS IN FACT ZOISITE. KNOWING IT WAS A NEW DISCOVERY AND THIS WAS LIKELY THE ONLY DEPOSIT IN THE WORLD TIFFANY STARTED HAVING THEIR GEMOLOGISTS USE TREATMENTS SUCH AS HEAT, DIFFUSION, IRRADIATION, ETC. THEY FOUND IF THE STONE WAS HEATED IT WOULD TURN SHADES OF PURPLE AND BLUE, BUT STILL KEEPS ITS BEAUTIFUL RED SCINTILLATION. THEY PURCHASED THE MINES RIGHTS AND IMMEDIATELY HAD A BEAUTIFUL NEW GEMSTONE SPECIES THAT WAS MARKETED SUBSTANTIALLY. AFTER ABOUT 5 YEARS IT BECAME ONE OF THE MOST DESIRABLE GEMSTONES FOR JEWELRY USE. ITS PRICES ORIGINALLY WERE ABOUT 1/4 OF SAPPHIRES (PROVING TO BE A GREAT ALTERNATIVE TO THE PRECIOUS GEMSTONE SPECIES). TODAY, IN 2014 THE TANZANITE MINED HAVE BEEN COMPLETELY DEPLETED BUT THE DEMAND FOR THE BEAUTIFUL GEMSTONE IS HIGHER THAN EVER. THIS HAS CAUSED THE PRICE OF TANZANITE (IN AAA QUALITIES OVER 2 CARATS) TO RAISE FROM $50 A CARAT WHOLESALE (IN 1990) TO $1,200 A CARAT WHOLESALE (IN 2014). THE PRICE OF TANZANITE IS PROJECTED TO BREAK $2,000 BY 2020 AND BE OVER $4,000 A CARAT BY 2030, AND THAT IS NOT ACCOUNTING FOR INFLATION EITHER! THE VALUE AND RARITY OF THIS GEMSTONE MAKES IT ONE OF THE BEST GEMSTONES IN THE WORLD FOR INVESTMENT AND RESALE APPLICATIONS.

PALLASITE PERIDOT IS AN EXTREMELY RARE SPECIES OF OLIVINE WHICH FORMS IN ROCKY IRON BASED METEORITES. THESE RARE METEORITES WHICH HAVE AN IRON BASE AND STONEY IMPURITIES ARE EXTREMELY RARE. THE REASON PERIDOT IS ABLE TO FORM IN THESE METEORITES IS BECAUSE OF THE EXTREMELY HIGH TEMPERATURE AND SLOW COOLING PROCESS THAT ALLOWS THE CRYSTAL TO FORM AND THE METEORITES HIGH IRON CONTENT WHICH GIVES THE CRYSTALS A GREEN COLOR. IN FACT, PALLASITE METEORITES HAVE SUCH A HIGH IRON CONTENT, THAT THE PERIDOT FOUND WITHIN THEM USUALLY HAVE A MORE MORE SATURATED COLOR. EYE CLEAN SPECIMENS OF PERIDOT FROM PALLASITE METEORITES ARE RARE BUT NOT IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND. GEMOLOGISTS PREDICT ABOUT 4-5% OF PALLASITE PERIDOT FOUND IN GEM QUALITY IS EYE CLEAN, THIS MEANS 95% OF THE GEMSTONES WILL CONTAIN INCLUSIONS. AS A TYPE 3 GEMSTONE PALLASITE IS EXPECTED TO CONTAIN INCLUSIONS AND EVEN AAA QUALITY GEMSTONES MAY CONTAIN INCLUSIONS. THIS GEMSTONE SPECIES IS A MEMBER OF THE EXOTIC - ELITE GEMSTONE CLASS WHICH IS VERY SELDOM TALKED ABOUT WITH MEMBERS OF THE RETAIL JEWELRY COMMUNITY BECAUSE THE STONES WITHIN ITS CLASS ARE SO INCREDIBLY RARE AND VALUABLE THEY ARE BEYOND REACH FOR MOST RETAIL CONSUMERS.

PALLASITE PERIDOT CAN BE DISTINGUISHED FROM REGULAR PERIDOT BY MEASURING ITS IRON CONTENT. PALLASITE PERIDOT HAS A MUCH HIGHER AMOUNT OF IRON THAN REGULAR TERRESTRIAL PERIDOT.

ULTRA RARE AND COLLECTABLE HEART SHAPED CABOCHON CUT AQUAMARINE MINED FROM COLORADO WITH AAA QUALITY

AMAZING SATURATED VIVID BLUE COLOR AND FLAWLESS EYE CLEAN CLARITY. VERY STRONG BRILLIANCE AND LUSTER THAT EXPLODES FROM THE GEMSTONE UNDER ANY LIGHT SOURCE. MEASURES 6X6 MM WITH A WEIGHT OF 1.07 CARATS. THIS AMERICAN MINED AQUAMRINE IS THE VERY BEST QUALITY AND THE PERFECT GEMSTONE FOR BOTH INVESTMENT USE AND JEWELRY APPLICATIONS. AQUAMARINE MINED FROM COLORADO IS EXTREMELY RARE AND VALUABLE DUE TO SEVERAL FACTORS. ONE OF THE LARGEST REASONS IS BECAUSE IT IS NOT ONLY EXTREMELY RARE, BUT THE ROUGH IS DUG UP BY INDIVIDUAL PROSPECTORS USING PRIMITIVE TOOLS BECAUSE THEIR IS NOT ENOUGH ROUGH FOR A COMMERCIAL MINE TO BE PROFITABLE. THE COST OF AMERICAN LABOR IS ALSO EXTREMELY HIGH COMPARED TO COUNTRIES SUCH AS BRAZIL OR INDIA, AND MANY KNOWLEDGEABLE COLLECTORS PREFER STONES FROM CERTAIN LOCATIONS TO COMPLETE THEIR COLLECTIONS. AQUAMARINE MINED FROM COLORADO IS OFTEN FOUND IN VERY SMALL CRYSTALS WITH NO MATRIX ATTACHED, AND ARE KNOWN TO CONTAIN AN UNUSUALLY HIGH AMOUNT OF GAS INCLUSIONS (LOOK LIKE FOG OR CLOUDS WITHIN THE STONE). FOR THIS REASON GEMS OVER ONE THIRD OF A CARAT OR GEMSTONES WITH EYE CLEAN CLARITY ARE EXTREMELY RARE. ANOTHER CHARACTERISTIC OF AQUAMARINE FROM THIS REGION IS IT LACKS GREEN OVERTONES WHICH IS HIGHLY PREFERRED BY AMERICAN JEWELERS AND GEMOLOGISTS AND DEMANDS A PREMIUM.
