XL Tanzanite

Lustrous terminated tanzanite crystal. The crystal is terminated, highly lustrous, internally transparent. Most tanzanite crystals, for whatever reasons of science and geology, form as "singles." A double, especially a cluster as balanced and symmetric as this, is extraordinarily rare in the mineral world. This piece is complete all around, 360 degrees. It is not the most gemmy, although it is translucent, but it has intense color and sharp geometry that draws the eye. 25.5 grams. Comes with a custom lucite base.
