Omg, your new tanzanite is absolutely lovely! The color is beautiful, and the name "Manhattan Velvet" is perfect for it. I can not wait to see the necklace you come up with. It's going to be gorgeous!

Lovely gemstone. Please don't be tempted to put it in a ring. I've got an 8ct Tanzanite ring and I could knock people out with it! It's a much better idea to set as a pendant. I can't wait to see what you do with it.

Thank you all so very much for all of your comments. It is so wonderful to have a forum where people share my passion. You know that I'll keep you updated once I get around to getting it set into a necklace. I say now that it will be a while, but I bet I'll actually do it before the close of 2011.

I love that deep saturation
 And sometimes, I like the wait before having something set because it gives me time to just stare and imagine. Half the time my ideas of what I want change while I'm waiting and imagining. And if they don't change, then I know I've really found the perfect project and setting.

That color is hypnotic! I love the blue-violet of tanzanites.

It shows a lot of violet, actually. It photographs blue and it's definitely blue-dominant but the violet coming from this stone is amazing. It pretty much depends on the lighting. These photos were shot outside in late morning light, around 11am.

The color on your tanzanite shows why they're such popular gems. Enjoy your beautiful new stone.

Thank you all, so much! I'm very excited. I need to have a few repairs done to a few other pieces of jewelry and I'm taking my new tanzanite along to show my favorite jeweler/gemologist today.

A very rich satiny colour; it's definitely going to be a star in your new necklace.

Really pretty stone, nice size too!
 Staring at it too long screws up my eyesightHmm, Tanzanite still seems really really affordable now (although valuations vary tremendously), and since they are pretty much ALL heat treated to some extent, there is less risk right? Any chance if I keep staring at it and not acting it'll go the way of dem paraibas? (ridiculously expensive, and really hard to differentiate real from enhanced) |
