Welcome to Splendid Specimens,
Enter the magical world of tanzanite, a true rarity in the realm of natural gemstones. This exquisite gem is a true wanderer, its unique colors only discovered in one secluded location worldwide, nestled beneath the majesty of Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, Africa. The journey to procure this gem takes you through distant lands and deep into the Earth’s crust—truly a treasure that has embraced the Earth’s hidden wonders.
Tanzanite, known for its captivating deep purple-blue hues, typically undergoes heating to bring forth its recognizable color. However, within the realm of this rare species, one occasionally encounters an absolute marvel—an untreated tanzanite that presents a breathtaking display of colors. Our gem embodies the exceptional beauty of three stunning hues: a core of pink and lavender transitions seamlessly to vibrant aqua green at its ends, showcasing a harmonious blend that seems effortless yet mesmerizing.
This pristine Tanzanite gemstone, measuring 7.25 X 6.20 X 3.50 mm, is a testament to nature's finesse. Sourcing such a rare, untreated gemstone was a five-month journey, delving deep into remote territories overseas to discover this exceptional beauty. The gem's striking natural bi-coloration led us to craft a traditional oval-cut design, expertly optimizing its lustrous dispersion and overall magnificence through numerous facets.
At 1.25 carats, this gem boasts not just loupe clean clarity, but the undeniable allure of a collector's item or an investment piece. Its rarity, untouched bi-coloration, and pristine natural form make it an ideal choice for adorning an engagement ring, pendant, or cherished piece of jewelry, marking a moment in time that's meant to last a lifetime.
Tanzanite, a cherished member of the zoisite mineral family, is a gem that holds centuries of history and intrigue. This unique variety of tanzanite exhibits colors that have enamored gemstone enthusiasts due to their extraordinary rarity, with untreated bi-colors like ours being even more exceptional. Tanzanite is an investment that embodies rarity, being rarer than diamonds, especially in its untreated bi-color forms.
Our journey overseas unearthed some of the most beautiful and rare color variations within this species. We're proud to offer green, blue, purple, silver blue, purple orange, and an incredibly rare pink. These gems, with their scarcity, have become a favored choice for investors, considering the nearing depletion of this gemstone species.
