An excellent example of a fancy Tanzanite in the desirable pink hue. Gem Zoisite comes in a full spectrum of colors, from pure blues to rich yellows and greens. Yellows are generally the most plentiful (relatively speaking of course), while pink is surely the scarcest. In the last two years or so there have some additional finds of pink rough, creating for the moment, something of a buyers market. Once this is gone, no doubt the price will return to a level that reflects how scarce these really are. With a precision US cut and entirely loupe clean.
