Stone is VVS or better.
Tanzanite from the famous mines of Tanzania. This piece is one of the truly exceptional colors. I hear the term D block color used very loosely and most I see the stones are violet looking when looking into the table facet. Zoisite which is what tanzanite is called in the mineral field is three different colors when looking at an unheated crystal. This nature of a crystal is called trichroism Pink yellow and lilac very pale in color and the three colors depending on what axis you are looking down. Axis lines are just reference lines crystallographers have drawn to help when studying crystals. After the crystals are heated the stones become two colors depending on the angle of reference which is dichroic.
Let's talk about this particular stone and enough with the crystallography lesson.
Color is a nice saturation of blue and violet. This one is booming with reflection from the lower facets and the color beautiful. When you see something special like this up close it touches something inside you I believe.
The stone when you flip it upside down and look through it backwards with a torch there are not any inclusions to be noticed. The stone is an absolute stunner.
Stone was certified Nov 20 2019.I don't like to buy anything to post now unless it is high end top grade. I don't like junk stones and the longer you're in this business the less you can deal with anything unless it is top shelf high end gem grade.

Why are users outbidding themselves?
When a bid is placed, this is the maximum amount a user is willing to bid for the product. Our system will then automatically bid on that users behalf, incrementally increasing the bid to maintain their position as the highest bidder, up to the specified maximum.
When there is an icon indicating 'Auto Bid,' it means our system is actively placing bids for the user based on their maximum bid. This may appear as if users are outbidding themselves, but it's simply a result of the system updating the bid to reflect the users maximum limit.
