NATURAL FACETED MARQUISE CUT TANZANITE LOOSE GEMSTONE MINED FROM TANZANIA AFRICA. FACETED BY SKILLED GEMSTONE CUTTERS INTO A FACETED MARQUISE CUT WITH A PREMIUM CUT GRADE. VERY BEAUTIFUL PASTEL LIKE BLUE COLOR WITH PURPLE AND VERY SLIGHT PINK UNDERTONES AS WELL AS A VIVID HUE. PERFECT FLAWLESS EYE CLEAN CLARITY AND VERY STRONG BRILLIANCE AND LUSTER. THE PICTURES OF THIS GEMSTONE IN NO WAY DO THIS AMAZING GEMSTONE JUSTICE. TANZANITE WITH PINK HUES IS VERY RARE AND VALUABLE. 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

PERFECTLY MATCHED PAIR OF PALASITE PERIDOT CUT FROM A VERY RARE FORM OF METEORITE WITH PERFECT AAA QUALITY. BOTH GEMSTONES HAVE BEEN PERFECTLY FACETED INTO PERFECTLY PROPORTIONED AND PERFECTLY MATCHED ROUND CUTS WITH PREMIUM CUT GRADES. BOTH GEMSTONES HAVE NEON LIKE GREEN WITH YELLOW UNDERTONES COLOR AND FLAWLESS EYE CLEAN CLARITY. VERY STRONG BRILLIANCE AND LUSTER. EACH MEASURES 5X5 MM AND THE PAIR HAS A COMBINED WEIGHT OF 1.14 CARATS. PALASITE PERIDOT IS CONSIDERED BY MOST GEMOLOGISTS TO BE ONE OF THE RAREST GEMSTONE SPECIES FOUND ON EARTH. IT ORIGINATES IN OUTER SPACE AND IS FOUND IN PALASITE METEORITES WHICH FALL TO EARTH. UNLIKE MOLDAVITE AND OTHER GEMSTONES CAUSED FROM METEORITE IMPACTS PALASITE PERIDOT ACTUALLY FORMS ON THE METEORITES BEFORE THEY ENTER EARTHS ATMOSPHERE. MOST PALASITE PERIDOT IS LESS THAN 0.10 CARATS AFTER FACETING BECAUSE LARGE GEM GRADE CRYSTALS ARE EXTREMELY UNCOMMON. GEMSTONES OVER 1/2 CARAT ARE NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND AND SOME OF THE LARGEST SPECIMENS EVER CUT ONLY WEIGHT 1.8-2.5 CARATS AND ARE CONSIDERED PRICELESS. WITH THE VALUE OF PALASITE PERIDOT RANGING FROM $100-1,000 A CARAT ON THE COLORED GEMSTONE INDEX IT IS A GREAT STONE FOR RESALE AND INVESTMENT PURPOSES. IT IS VERY STABLE AND CAN BE USED IN ANY JEWELRY APPLICATION SAFELY. WE ARE ONE OF THE ONLY COMPANIES IN THE USA THAT SELLS FACETED GEM QUALITY PALASITE PERIDOT AND IT TOOK NEARLY A DECADE TO SECURE THE SOURCE WHERE WE GET IT FROM. MOST OF THE PALASITE PERIDOT WE SELL ORIGINATES FROM METEORITES FOUND ALL OVER THE WORLD AND FACETED BY A GENTLEMEN IN TUCSON ARIZONA. PALASITES METEORITES ARE A STONY IRON BASED METEORITE WITH CRYSTALS THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE METEORITE. PALASITE GEMSTONES ARE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO MATCH BECAUSE THEY VERY SO DRASTICALLY IN COLOR, CLARITY, COLOR DISPERSION, AND SIZE. THE VAST MAJORITY OF PALASITE GEMSTONES WEIGH UNDER 0.10 CARATS AFTER FACETING. THIS MAKES GEMSTONES LARGER THAN THAT RARE ON THEIR OWN, AND MAKES FINDING MATCHED SETS IN LARGER SIZES THAT MUCH HARDER. THIS IS ONE OF THE RAREST GEMSTONE SPECIES IN THE WORLD, AND WITH A VERY STRONG DEMAND FOR PALASITE METEORITE SPECIMENS IT IS VERY HARD TO CONVINCE PEOPLE TO CUT THE METEORITES THEY HAVE INTO GEMSTONES. THIS IS WHY PALASITE RETAILS FOR HUNDREDS AND EVEN THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS A CARAT. HAVING A MATCHED PAIR USUALLY ABOUT TRIPLES THE PRICE PER CARAT OF THE GEMS. HAVING MATCHING LOTS MAKE THEM MORE AND MORE VALUABLE IN A PER CARAT PRICE. THIS IS THE REASON YOU NEVER SEE TENNIS NECKLACES OR BRACELETS MADE OF PALASITE, OR EVEN EARRINGS FOR THAT MATTER. THAT MAKES THESE GEMSTONES AN UNBELIEVABLE INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY AS WELL AS A GREAT LOT FOR JEWELERS AND RESELLERS AS WELL....more

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.
