Single pink Tanzanite crystal from a recent find at Merelani. It is a complete crystal, with an indentation from another crystal in one face,
and slight edge chipping. There was a good pocket of pinks found recently (see http://www.marinmineral.com/mixed564.html ), which is rare.
Out of all the crystals, this one had the deepest pink color, in fact it is red or very close to it. Unusual color for Tanzanite.
