Ct. 10.90 Natural Blue Tanzanite, Violet- Oval Cabochon Cut- 2.18 g

Tanzanite is a rare and highly sought-after gemstone known for its striking blue-violet hues, discovered only in Tanzania in the 1960s. The natural blue and violet coloration results from trace amounts of vanadium in the mineral zoisite. A 10.90-carat tanzanite oval cabochon, weighing approximately 2.18 grams, represents a substantial size and exceptional specimen for showcasing the gem’s saturated hues. The cabochon shape enhances the stone’s rich color depth and smooth surface, often preferred to highlight color over sparkle. Tanzanite’s rarity and unique color spectrum—shifting between blue, purple, and violet depending on lighting—make it a prized gemstone among collectors and designers alike. It is considered a December birthstone and often chosen for high-end jewelry pieces due to its vibrant color and distinctive appeal.
