AF503 - Tanzanite sold
Merelani Hills, Lelatema Mtns., Arusha Region, Tanzania
Miniature - 4 x 3 x 1.5 cm
Superb single Tanzanite crystal with excellent form and luster. One tiny nick on one edge, otherwise clean and undamaged. This crystal exhibits much better trichroism than most, with a rich purple from the front, blue from the side, and a very strong red when viewed from the top. This crystal has big gems sections and weighs 192 carats.
AF469 - Tanzanite sold
Merelani Hills, Lelatema Mtns., Arusha Region, Tanzania
Thumbnail - 3.1 x 1.5 x 1.1 cm
Superb pink Tanzanite! This is one of my favorite crystals from Tucson with an excellent rich pink tip with a sharp color change to lavender. Yellow when viewed from the side. Fancy colored Tanzanites of this size and quality are uncommon.
AF470 - Tanzanite with Prehnite sold
Merelani Hills, Lelatema Mtns., Arusha Region, Tanzania
Thumbnail - 2.8 x 1.5 x 1.1 cm
Rare fan shaped formation of Tanzanite crystals. Rare enough as a fan formation, this is the only such I have seen with associated yellow Prehnites. Damage to some tips.
