No reserve price - 1 pcs Violet Tanzanite - 6.87 ct - International Gemological Institute (IGI)

Tanzanite is a captivating gemstone known for its striking blue-violet hues, prized for its vivid color and rarity. This particular piece is a violet tanzanite weighing 6.87 carats, accompanied by certification from the International Gemological Institute (IGI), ensuring its quality and origin. Tanzanite is a variety of the mineral zoisite and was discovered in Tanzania in the 1960s, making it a relatively recent addition to the gem world. Its unique trichroism allows it to show different colors when viewed from various angles, typically revealing shades of blue, violet, and burgundy. This effect, combined with its rich coloration, makes tanzanite highly desirable for collectors and jewelry enthusiasts. Due to its limited geographical source—the Mererani Hills near Mount Kilimanjaro—tanzanite has become a symbol of exclusivity and beauty in the gemstone market. Jewelry set with tanzanite is often designed to highlight its vibrant color and exceptional clarity, making stones of this size and quality particularly noteworthy.
