Description/Interesting Notes:
An absolutely incredible example of bicolor PINK and purple tanzanite!!! Examples of true, PINK tanzanite are
extremely rare and highly sought after!!! This specimen consists of a broad plate of intergrown, parallel crystals of tanzanite
that exhibit stunning color that ranges from a deep violet purple to an incredible, rich magenta pink!!! What makes this specimen
even more aesthetic are the numerous bright, lime green diopside crystals in association!!! There are also
some scattered areas of silvery metallic graphite present as well!!! The combination of colors is simply
gorgeous in person!!! The tanzanite exhibits marked translucence with sharply defined, brilliantly lustrous crystal faces!!!
While the specimen is not terminated, its rarity and
significance as a pink tanzanite still makes it an exceptional and valuable specimen regardless!!! This specimen displays
gorgeously in person and is full of color and brilliant sparkle!!! Rare material!!!
The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!
Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!! STAY TUNED!!! MORE AUCTIONS WILL BE ADDED SATURDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 5-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY AUGUST 23rd!!!
