NATURAL TANZANITE LOOSE GEMSTONE WITH EXCELLENT INVESTMENT QUALITY. PERFECTLY FACETED INTO A OVAL SHAPED BRILLIANT CUT WITH A PREMIUM CUT GRADE. EXCELLENT SATURATED BLUE COLOR WITH STRONG RED UNDERTONES AND EYE CLEAN FLAWLESS CLARITY. VERY STRONG BRILLIANCE AND LUSTER. MEASURES 18X13 MM WITH A WEIGHT OF 14.49 CARATS. THIS TANZANITE HAS UNDERGONE A TREATMENT CALLED GLASS FILLING IN WHICH LEAD GLASS IS USED TO FILL ANY FEATHERING IN THE GEMSTONE AND INCREASE CLARITY. THIS IS A PERMANENT AND STABLE TREATMENT THAT IS BECOMING STANDARD PRACTICE IN THE JEWELRY INDUSTRY, ESPECIALLY SINCE THE TANZANITE MINES ARE NOW DEPLETED. 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
