2.44ct Oval Violet Blue Tanzanite from Tanzania

Tanzanite exists in only one place on earth: a single geological belt near the base of Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania. This 2.44 cts Tanzanite of Violet Blue /6 very strong hue from Tanzania was selected for the Skyjems Archive not as an afterthought, but as a deliberate acquisition. Geological estimates suggest tanzanite could be exhausted within decades; fine blue-violet specimens are actively acquired by collectors anticipating terminal scarcity. Tanzania's gemstone belt is one of the most geologically diverse on earth, producing tanzanite, tsavorite, spinel, and sapphire from a single extraordinary geological system.
