Stunning gem Tanzanite crystal of exceptional quality. I see absolutely no internal fractures or veils. It is rare to find an internally flawless crystal of deep blue Tanzanite.

There is minor chipping present that could easily be fixed with a very minor restoration to create a perfect crystal both inside and out. Weighs 23.65 carats.
