NATURAL TANZANITE
Size: 4.1ct (10.6x8.6x4.83mm)
Color: Purple-Blue
Origin: Tanzania
Treatment: No Treatments
Product Details
This tanzanite has not been subjected to heat treatments, which means it retains its natural color. Unheated tanzanites often exhibit a more complex range of colors, including deep blues, vibrant purples, and subtle pinks. This cut is designed to maximize brilliance and create a stunning sparkle by reflecting light through multiple angles. The cut
combines an octagon’s structured geometry with the sparkle of a radiant cut, enhancing the gemstone’s visual appeal. Tanzanite is one of the birthstones of December.
Tanzanite has a Mohs hardness of 6-7. The Mohs Scale is a system used to grade the hardness of minerals (resistance to scratching) ranging from 1 to 10. For reference, diamonds are rated 10 on the Mohs scale, as they are the hardest mineral and can only be scratched by other diamonds. Talc has a rating of 1 on the Mohs Scale and can be easily scratched and crushed. Stones that rank seven or higher are best for everyday wear. We recommend setting this stone in a protective setting such as a bezel setting.
This stone is photographed in professional studio lighting that mimics natural sunlight of 5500 degrees kelvin and videoed outdoors the same.
For care and cleaning, we strongly recommend using soapy water and a soft brush as the safest way to clean your jewelry, avoiding ultrasonic and steam cleaners. We also suggest avoiding extreme heat as it has the potential to harm the color variation of your stone. To be safe, remove your jewelry while enjoying a soak in the hot tub or steam in the sauna! You will also want to avoid strong household chemicals and cleaners such as bleach.
Additional Information
**We do not reserve stones for any customer expressing interest in a particular stone. You must complete the purchase of the stone to save and reserve it for yourself! For liability reasons, we will require a signature confirmation upon delivery of your custom ring regardless of the shipping option you select at checkout.**
**Please note that when purchasing a stone, we do not send just the stone itself. In purchasing a Mine Stone, you are reserving that stone in order to work with one of our custom designers to build the perfect ring for your stone! We are artists, not stone dealers, and our passion is working alongside our clients in designing unique and beautiful rings. We love nothing more than seeing custom rings completed and a client's dreams realized!**
