Description

Saturated color is the key fator in this twinned tanzanite crystal specimen, deep purple to red, red being the most uncommon color variant. The substantial crystal is a double twin consisting of three individual crystals that each terminate at different levels.

Exhibiting strong pleochroism changing from deep blue through to deep purple and red in the main broad faces when viewed directly down or through the narrow sides. The condition is damage free with high glassy luster.

The images do the specimen no justice- this is a piece that I usually sell in person- you will be impressed when you receive it.
