Large pink Tanzanite with attached Graphite. This is the largest crystal from a pocket found late last year.
Pink is one the rarest colors for Tanzanite. It's not terminated, but I also wouldn't consider it damaged, as most from the pocket were
unterminated pieces of crystals. Glassy striated faces on all sides and nicely translucent. Weighs 36 grams.
