I know nothing about gemstones.. so excuse me if this is a horridly dumb question.
I have a tanzanite ring that I got for christmas, because I thought that the purple was pretty and it was more sparkly than an amythest. It was cheap and from a mall store, so I can''t expect too much for quality..
However, i think that for as long as I have had it, it has had a vertical line down it, not quite in the center, but almost like cutting a third off it. Of course now that I am looking for it, I can''t see it, but I almost always can. It almost looks like a crack, but I know that its not really. What is it? I have seen in other posts on here that tanzanite is very soft. Is it a scratch? Or some sort of inclusion?
Just curious!
