Gem quality tanzanite. I haven checked but I'm pretty sure nothing like this is being offered on the site. This beautiful violet blue tanzanite changes color in natural light to incandesant light from violet blue to sapphire blue. As does all good quality Tanzanite. Only one deposit is know in the world found in Tanzania near Mount Kilimanjaro. Will only ship this stone Fed Ex for safety sakes. Fed Ex is next day delivery to the USA. This starting price is half what you would see a stone of this quality being offered elsewhere. I consider this starting price what a jeweler would pay to aquire this quality tanzanite. $3600 would be wholesale and $5200 would be retail. I took a picture in natural light on a cloudy day to show the color change. I can see more violet in person under natural light but in photo's its a bit harder to see.
