BEAUTIFUL ROUND CUT UNTREATED TANZANITE (ZOISITE) WITH AMAZING COLOR AND CLARITY

Lot #11 (Sale Order 17 of 47)

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.

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. THIS GEMSTONE IS SURE TO IMPRESS ANYBODY PRIVILEGED ENOUGH TO SEE IT AND IS ONE OF THE LARGEST AND 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 LEAVING 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.

PRECIOUS OVAL CUT ULTRA RARE COLOMBIAN MINED GHOST EMERALD WITH GLOWING HUE - COLLECTORS GEMSTONE

Lot #983 (Sale Order 41 of 47)

COMPLETELY NATURAL AND UNTREATED AAA QUALITY PRICELESS GHOST EMERALD MINED FROM THE WORLD RENOWNED CHIVOR MINE IN COLOMBIA. OUTSTANDING EYE CLEAN SEMI-TRANSPARENT CLARITY AND THE AMAZING VIBRANT YET SATURATED GREEN WITH SLIGHT BLUE UNDERTONES COLOR AS WELL AS THE CRAY GLOWING HUE THAT GHOST EMERALDS ARE MEASURES 7X5 MM WITH A WEIGHT OF 0.84 CARATS WHICH IS ACTUALLY HUGE FOR THIS RARE GEMSTONE SPECIES. EXPERTLY FACETED IN THE USA. OVAL SHAPED BRILLIANT CUT WITH A PREMIUM CUT GRADE, GHOST EMERALDS ARE AN EXTREMELY RARE SUB-SPECIES OF EMERALD ONLY FOUND AT THE CHIVOR MINE IN COLOMBIA. THERE HAS ONLY EVER BEEN ONE POCKET OF THIS RARE GEM FOUND AND IT PRODUCED UNDER 10,000 CARATS TOTAL OF GHOST EMERALDS. THAT POCKET IS NOW DEPLETED MAKING THIS ONE OF THE SCARCEST, AND MOST VALUED GEMSTONES IN THE WORLD. GHOST EMERALDS GET THEIR NAME BECAUSE OF A RARE ANOMALY IN THE CRYSTAL STRUCTURE WHICH MAKES THE GEMSTONE APPEAR TO LITERALLY GLOW. WHEN GHOST EMERALDS FORM THEY NORMALLY GET THEIR GREEN COLOR FROM THE ELEMENT CHROMIUM. GHOST EMERALDS CRYSTAL STRUCTURES ACTUALLY FORM IN SUCH A WAY THAT VANADIUM IS PERFECTLY STACKED IN ITS CRYSTAL STRUCTURE, BOTH GIVING THE STONE ITS GREEN COLOR AND CAUSING THE GLOWING EFFECT. ITS NOT UNCOMMON FOR EMERALDS TO HAVE TRACE AMOUNTS OF VANADIUM, BUT THIS IS THE ONLY FORM OF EMERALD WHERE THE VANADIUM IS THE ONLY PURPOSE OF THE GREEN COLOR. IT IS ALSO THE ONLY FORM OF EMERALD WHERE THE VANADIUM IS STACKED IN SUCH A TIGHT HONEY COMB LIKE PATTERN IN THE CRYSTAL STRUCTURE. THIS HONEY COMB LIKE ARRANGEMENT OF VANADIUM CAUSES THE LIGHT TO DIFFUSE BOTH WHEN ENTERING THE STONE, THEN AGAIN WHEN THE STONE REFLECTS THE LIGHT BACK TO THE VIEWERS EYE. THIS DIFFUSION OF LIGHT IS WHAT MAKES THE STONE APPEAR TO GLOW. GHOST EMERALDS ARE CONSIDERED AN EXOTIC-ELITE SPECIES AND MOST SPECIMENS ARE CONSIDERED PRICELESS. IN 1999 A RECORD WAS SET WHEN A 2.46 CARAT GHOST EMERALD SOLD IN A FINE GEM AUCTION TO A WEALTHY INDIVIDUAL IN THE MIDDLE EAST FOR $1.3 MILLION.

THE LACK OF HEATING SAPPHIRES WITH COLOR SUCH AS THESE LEAVES THE NATURAL SILKY GEMMY APPEARANCE EXPERIENCED GEMOLOGISTS CRAVE. KASHMIR SAPPHIRES ARE MINED FROM A REGION PLAGUES WITH CONFLICT SITTING BETWEEN THE PAKISTANI AND INDIAN BORDER.

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.
