This is as clean as it gets for sapphire! Indoors, I see a dominantly green gem with two yellow fins that spiral to the center. The blue splotch in the center is a tad darker than the green or yellow. In daylight, this gem appears a dominant bluish-green and yellow. It's simply stunning. If you're looking for a multicolor sapphire with a notable cut and shape, this could be the one!

This gem is dominantly blue/violet in color. Some inclusions are visible under magnification. As I rotate the polarizing lens, yellow and lilac become visible; these colors won't be visible without a special lens though. Those hidden hues are indicative that this tanzanite has not been heat-treated to enhance its color.  Heat treatment will typically eliminate everything except blue and purple.

Detailed Gem Description:

A natural and heat-treated zoisite var. Tanzanite with a dominant violet hue, a medium tone, and moderately strong to strong saturation.  This is an open-tone gem, it will glow and sparkle in any lighting!

See the last graphic for reference on how I graded these. To maintain originality, I made the reference graphics with gems of my own design but it is based on GIA's color description system.

Photos were taken in daylight and under a microscope.  The first four videos were taken in daylight with the sun overhead and a blue sky. The last few scenes in the fourth video are inside in passive lighting and under my overhead LED lights. The outdoor scenes in the fifth video were taken on an overcast day.   Please review all the videos thoroughly.

Gemstone Rough Country of Origin: Tanzania
