Hello and welcome to splendid specimens

Tanzanite is an incredibly rare and natural gemstone that is only found in one location in the world.

Found under mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, Africa. This rare and exotic gemstone can only be found in one 7 klm location, deep in the earths crust.

Tanzanite is usually heated to create that purple/blue colour that we all know so well.

This species is usually A light brown too deep brown tone before heat but sometimes you will find Tanzanite naturally without treatment in green, blue, silver, bi colour and on rare occasions pink.

Here at splendid specimens we wanted to concentrate on untreated tanzanite due to their rarity and their natural colour formed in the earth over millions of years.

Rarely do we find gemstones that have the ability to change colour depending on the angle that the gemstone is being viewed from. The colour zoning is soft and flows effortlessly into the next colour. This tanzanite has really strong dichroism.

This natural tanzanite gemstone is - 4.70 x 4.70 x 3 mm

The design chosen for these gemstones are traditional round brilliant cut with diamond polish to display these unique and rarely seen colours in Tanzanite.

These beautiful pastel green and lavender tones really make for a unique gemstone.

Weighing in at 0.50 carat this gemstone is all about colour rather than carat weight.

Vs1 Clairty displays a very clean gemstone even to the naked eye.

Tanzanite is a member of the mineral family zoisite, which has been known about for nearly two centuries. Zoisite occurs in a number of varieties, the most sought after being tanzanite.

These colours are often collected by gemstone enthusiasts due to their rarity. Tanzanite is 1000 times rarer than diamond and even more rare when it is untreated bi colours or pink.

I have spent the past five months overseas to source only the very best and most beautiful colour varieties available in this species. We are pleased to be able to offer green, blue, purple, silver blue, purple orange and even the highly sought after an incredibly rare pink.

Tanzanite is a favourite among investors as sadly this species of gemstone is nearly exhausted.
