AMAZING SATURATED BLUE COLOR AND FLAWLESS EYE CLEAN CLARITY. VERY STRONG BRILLIANCE AND LUSTER THAT EXPLODES FROM THE GEMSTONE UNDER ANY LIGHT SOURCE. MEASURES 8X6 MM WITH A WEIGHT OF 1.75 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.

GORGEOUS VIVID LILAC PURPLE COLOR WITH STRONG BLUE UNDERTONES AND EYE CLEAN CLARITY. VERY STRONG BRILLIANCE AND LUSTER. MEASURES A BIG 7X5 MM WITH A WEIGHT OF 1.00 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....more
