1 pcs Tanzanite - 2.06 ct - International Gemological Institute (IGI)

Tanzanite is a strikingly beautiful blue to violet gemstone belonging to the zoisite mineral family. It was only discovered in the 1960s in Tanzania, near Mount Kilimanjaro, which remains its only known source worldwide. Tanzanite's stunning trichroic nature allows it to show different colors when viewed from different angles, shifting among blue, violet, and burgundy hues. Its rich, saturated colors made it a popular alternative to more traditional blue gemstones like sapphire. The 2.06-carat tanzanite in this listing is certified by the International Gemological Institute (IGI), confirming its quality and authenticity. Due to its relative rarity and captivating colors, tanzanite has quickly become a sought-after gemstone for collectors and jewelry designers.
