This outstanding blocky Tanzanite crystal has natural and unheated color. We contemplated on cutting this beauty up because it has a few great clean areas towards the termination of the crystal. Our gem cutter estimates that it could possibly cut three very clean stones that weigh around: a 13 carat, 4 carat, and and a 2 carat. They might not be the top top color, but if finished they will produce beautiful lighter gemstones when heated.
That being said, we are not cutting this piece because we think it is an amazing aesthetic mineral specimen and will offer it as is. It will make a great addition to any crystal & mineral display. It currently weighs 254.84ct and measures 52.2mm x 19.9mm x 23.7mm. Locality: Merelani Hills, Tanzania
No other jeweler cares about the brilliance, cut and color in their gemstones more than us and owner, master gem cutter, Steve Moriarty.
I don’t have enough time or words to share the joy I have found in this incredible “hidden gem” (pun intended) shop. The quality of the products, the love that goes into the creating, and the extremely personable staff are all a part of why I love it so much. They are able to take the little bit of information you give to them, and with their vast amount of knowledge, bring to life a creation of what’s in your mind, working until it’s to perfection...
I was looking for a bicolor sapphire for an engagement ring and fell in love with a gem I found on their website. It is so beautifully cut and the blue/green and yellow hues are exactly what I had envisioned. I purchased the stone online from Florida and was very pleased with the care they took in securing the package. The stone is now set and I am so thrilled to be able to wear it every day!
Alice & the staff are wonderful . Great customer service , beautiful jewelry & gem stones. I live in Arizona and the item I purchased from them. I received 2 days later. Which was awesome! Very pleased with my purchase!
Moriarty’s is a fantastic shop to find your jewelry treasures. From mines through designs, the Moriarty family and staff do a top notch job. I have purchased many items and always feel that their pricing is better than expected. As well, the service behind the order has been very fast and efficient
