Hi all!
I normally hang out over in RockyTalk, but decided it was time to venture over here and spend some time. I have a collection of tanzanites that I'm going to have mounted and I'm still deciding how I want to wear some of them.
The first pic shows several that vary is size from just over a carat to over 4 carats on the long pear. Unfortunately I can't get the color even close the the purples that come off the stones, they just look blue in the pics. Most of them are very saturated purple-blue, but the fat pear is definitely cut on the purple axis. The 2 diamonds in the box are .65 ct and .4something.
The 6 stones in the middle pic range from about 3 1/4 carat to about 5.2 on the cushion shaped. Once again they show more purple than I can get in the picture. They're all very clean, beautiful stones.
The bottom pic is my prize. It's over 17 carats of deeply saturated purple-blue, loupe-clean beauty. For size refererence my ring finger is size 8.5 and the diamonds I'm wearing are .84 ct and 1.10.
