NATURAL AND UNTREATED FACETED ROUND CUT TANZANITE (ZOISITE) WITH FLAWLESS EYE CLEAN CLARITY AND SATURATED REDDISH BROWN COLOR. MEASURES 8X8 MM WITH A WEIGHT OF 1.75 CARATS. MINED FROM TANZANIA AFRICA. 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

AAA QUALITY OVAL FACETED CUT COLOR CHANGE AMETHYST MINED FROM SIBERIA. MEASURES 7X5 MM WITH A WEIGHT OF 0.80 CARATS. EXCELLENT EYE CLEAN CLARITY AND STRONG 90+% COLOR CHANGE FROM PURPLISH BLUE TO REDDISH VIOLET. MOST PEOPLE ARE UNAWARE THAT THERE IS A VERY RARE FORM OF AMETHYST WHICH APPEARS TO CHANGE COLORS. THE REASON THIS VERY RARE FORM OF AMETHYST HAS A COLOR SHIFT IS BECAUSE OF ITS VERY STRONG PLEOCHROISM. PLEOCHROISM IS A PHENOMENON THAT MAKES THE LIGHT REFLECTING BACK OUT OF A GEMSTONE TO APPEAR DIFFERENT FROM ALTERNATE ANGLES. THE FINEST AND MOST SOUGHT AFTER SPECIMENS OF COLOR CHANGE AMETHYST DISPLAY HUES WITH RED OR PINK COLORS THAT SHIFT TO MORE OF A BLUE OR PURBLE COLOR SUCH AS THIS ONE. THIS BEAUTIFUL VARIETY OF AMETHYST IS MOST COMMONLY MINED FROM SIBERIA BUT ALSO CAN COME FROM BOLIVIA, TANZANIA, AND A FEW SPECIMENS HAVE BEEN FOUND IN BRAZIL. ...more

BEAUTIFUL AND NATURAL OVAL FACETED CUT TANZANITE WITH SATURATED BLUISH PURPLE COLOR AND EYE CLEAN CLARITY. MEASURES A LARGE 9X7 MM WITH A WEIGHT OF 1.90 CARATS. TANZANITE IS CURRENTLY ONE OF THE MOST VALUABLE AND POPULAR GEMSTONES IN THE CURRENT 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....more
