Top Grade Unheated Tanzanite Crystal Specimen - 25.4 grams
Insane Tanzanite Crystal
This one comes from a client of mine, and I'm reselling it on their behalf. It's over five years old, from an older batch of material that you just don't see much of these days.
This is a phenomenal, world class specimen that showcases the absolute peak of tanzanite color saturation. It features an exceptionally wide, robust crystal habit with massive presence. The sheer volume of top tier, electric color moving through this piece makes it an undeniable centerpiece for any high end mineral collection.
Color & Pleochroism: Absolute top tier. This specimen is loaded with deep, saturated purples and rich royal blues. Turn it in the light and the color shifts powerfully between the two, a beautiful display of tanzanite's natural pleochroism with serious depth in every direction. Put it under LED lighting and a green pleochroism comes through as well, adding another layer to an already stunning color show.
Luster: 10/10. True glass grade luster. The expansive crystal faces feature a brilliant, liquid mirror shine that beautifully highlights its clean, natural geometric lines.
Clarity: Nearly gem clean throughout, with only a few fine needle inclusions. Light floods the crystal and fully illuminates the immense depth and intensity of the purple and blue saturation.
Termination: A beautiful, fully formed crown termination with strong, distinct architecture that remains completely intact.
When you get this level of deep, top tier color paired with near gem clean clarity and maxed out luster, you're looking at an elite grade piece. A truly massive, powerhouse crystal that is bound to stand out in any display.
When it comes to sourcing Tanzanite, buying straight from the source country isn't what it seems. Standard retail prices in Tanzania are heavily inflated for tourists, and the authentic wholesale market is locked away behind the walls of Merelani. It is a world completely inaccessible to the general public, requiring strict paperwork, lengthy wait times, and direct clearance from mine owners. We hold direct investments in a few of these mines and have great relationships with the mine owners themselves. While 99.9% of dealers are forced to deal with city brokers and middle-men, we go straight to the actual source, allowing us to offer prices that are routinely half or more of what you will see at major gem shows or found online.
We are able to pass these incredible savings directly to you by keeping our business incredibly lean. We choose not to exhibit at expensive gem shows, and our operation is strictly family-run with zero outside employees. This means our overhead costs are virtually nonexistent. By eliminating the middle-man, wiping out unnecessary administrative expenses, and intentionally keeping our profit margins lower than the industry standard, we ensure that your capital goes entirely into the raw value and beauty of the crystal itself.

PAYMENT PLANS
To help clients acquire higher-value specimens, we offer flexible payment plans for orders exceeding $500. Full payment is required within the calendar year. Typically, we ask that payments be completed within 3-4 months, though extended terms may be available for larger purchases.
Payment plans are not applicable for items that are discounted or on sale.
1. A 20% NON-REFUNDABLE down payment is required to initiate the payment plan and reserve the item(s), due immediately upon receipt of the first invoice. This 20% will be of the total purchase price including shipping and taxes (if applicable). If you'd like to put down more than 20%, we can adjust the remaining payments accordingly.
2. The remaining 80% (or less, if more than 20% was paid initially) will be divided into monthly payments of equal amounts to be completed within the calendar year. The number of payments is subject to discussion with a member of staff who will work closely with clients to custom tailor payment plans. In most cases, we request payment is completed within 3-4 months, with additional time consideration for larger purchases.
3. Clients will receive an invoice to initiate payment - subsequent payments can be made using this same invoice link. Failure to pay invoices with a lapse of 5 days will result in cancellation of the payment plan and forfeiture of the item and 20% non-refundable deposit. Any amount paid in excess of the non-refundable deposit would be refunded via the method of payment used.
4. There is no penalty for early payment. At any time, clients may reach out to a sales team member to pay the remaining balance in full.
5. Upon completion of the payment plan in full, the specimen(s) will be shipped to the client.
6. Items purchased via payment plan are subject to a no-refund policy. Items may be returned at the expense of the buyer for credit equal to the item price (minus taxes and shipping costs) to be applied to any other item in inventory. Unused credit will not be refunded in these cases.
7. For clients who have missed 3 months or more on payment plans we reserve the right to cancel the plan with no refund.
