Nearly flawless single crystal, it almost looks like a faceted gem. Thee are some growth marks on a few areas of the surface that appear to be where Graphite contacted the crystal, but they are just on the very surface. Rarely are Tanzanite crystals so gemmy. Thick, blocky crystal blue down one face and purple when viewed on the side. Natural, unheated gem Tanzanite crystal. 16.5 carats in weight, 2.1 x 0.8 x 0.7 cm.
