Offering up my beautiful tanzanite! This gem is loose and has never been set. Purchased from Yvonne Raley for about $450; asking $350 OBO.

This is a really gorgeous tanzy. It has been heated, but the color is wonderful. Yvonne described it as the "most expensive/ideal color on the market". It's that desirable darker blue. Yvonne told me that she almost kept this one for herself - and she handles a lot of tanzy! This is a nice one though. I am selling it only bc I recently bought a sapphire that is close enough in color to this tanzy that I now don't think I will set the tanzy. (And also I'm selling bc, as usual, I need to fundraise, lol).

All of these pics are taken in natural sunlight. A couple were taken by Yvonne and the rest by me. (The last pic shows the tanzy in the middle, in between an amethyst and a sapphire, for color comparison). The color on this gem is nice and even throughout but I can see that in some of my pics it may not appear that way - it's just the dichroic effect showing, I think.

I will consider reasonable offers on this.

It is beautifully cut; it's just a gorgeous gem. Portuguese cut, round, it is 7.25 mm and 1.74 cts. It would look wonderful set in a ring or even a pendant, I think it's big enough for that. Excellent clarity (Yvonne described it as VVS).

I wouldn't mind to keep this one but I could use the cash so I thought I'd offer it out :)

Insured Shipping included in price, within US only.
