Things to consider before you buy high-quality Tanzanite

high quality tanzanite

Introduction

Tanzanite is among the finest gemstones on the planet and one of the most underrated concerning its scarcity.Its name derives from the only known source in Tanzania. It has surpassed Blue Sapphire as the most common colored stone on the market. It is the only known supply of a gem form with a well-established and ever-increasing demand. It is widely accepted that the existing Tanzanite resource could be exhausted in a matter of decades, and as such, it has earned the moniker "One Generation Gemstone." 

Maasai tribe members discovered Tanzanite in the foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro in 1967. According to legend, a bush fire swept through the region heated some surface-lying gems, turning them blue. While herding their cattle through the places searching for grass, the tribesmen noticed the sparkling blue stones.

Process of mining tanzanite

Tanzanite, like most colored stones, is primarily mined on a small scale by "artisanal" miners. There are households or community groups assigned a mining claim by the government and who mine a small claim collectively. Tanzanite One, a multinational corporation, mines one portion of the mining sector.

How much does a Tanzanite cost?

The value of a Tanzanite is highly dependent on its consistency. The 4C's are used to assess the consistency of all gemstones. The finest intensely saturated colors that are exquisite command premium prices, while pale or included (lower clarity) stones demand far lower costs. Explore here more on GIA Certified Tanzanite

 

Tanzanite Heating - Does all Tanzanite Heated?

This question is something that always triggers our minds. Most people used to get confused considering the role of heating in Tanzanite.

Tanzanites are heated to remove the brown axis, which leaves behind the well known blue colour.

Does heating tanzanites impact at the time of certifying it as a GIA Certified Tanzanite?

Certification is done based on tanzanites colour, carat, weight, shape, and shape.

When tanzanites are mined, they are found in three different colours on three different axes or directions.

Tanzanites brownish colour appearance is turned into a blue hue by using heating up tanzanites.

And this blue colour is considered to certify whether Tanzanite is GIA certified Tanzanite or not.

 

Trichroism and Red Flash in Tanzanite why it is crucial to know before you buy high-quality Tanzanite 

Tanzanite gems come in blue and violet hues. We only know this much but do you know Tanzanite is a light-sensitive gemstone? It means its colour changes in varying circumstances. 

But why does this happen? The truth behind this mystery is Tanzanite's trichroic effect. Tanzanite chemical structure causes the double refraction of white light as it passes through it. 

When rough Tanzanite is looked at from 3 different axes, it shows three different colours. It will show blue colour on one axis, another in reddish-brown and the other in deep violet. 

It is this trichroism that is responsible for changing tanzanite colour under different light sources. 

So next time when you hear the word "Red Flash" or wonder why your Tanzanite changes so much colour at different times of day, or in rooms of your home or in a restaurant and why its colour was blue when you initially buy high-quality tanzanite from showrooms or online store now you know why. 

 

Things to consider before you buy high-quality Tanzanite

Tanzanite, like diamonds and other gemstones, focuses on four C's of quality: color, clarity, carat weight, and cut. These factors are considered when one plans to buy high-quality Tanzanite. These factors will help you understand and decide whether the stone is of high quality or not.

  • Color- This is by far the most critical factor. Still, it is probably the most difficult of the four C's to judge online due to various factors, not least the unreliability of photos shown on different seller's websites. Color saturation, in essence, determines color consistency. The next hurdle to tackle is learning about the various color grading systems available. As you do your study, you will come across a variety of systems, ranging from the GIA system to the Tanzanite Foundation system and the IGSL system. Everyone has their approach. When looking for stones online, having a clear understanding of how these systems operate would be extremely beneficial. Consider these points when seeing whether the Tanzanite is of high quality or not.
    • Darker, more vibrant colors are more difficult to find and more costly than lighter colors.
    • Tanzanite gemstone size and color are closely related: larger stones appear to show the darkest colors, while smaller ones are typically pastel colored.
    • The worth of the gemstone declines as the saturation point of the color falls.
    • Smaller Tanzanite is considerably simpler than larger Tanzanite. Very dark Tanzanite over 3 carats is almost impossible to find.
    • When tilted and rocked, all Tanzanite is a combination of blue and violet and will reveal both colors. Tanzanite is characterized as blue with a violet tint or the opposite.
    • There is no reduction in cost between blue and violet influential tanzanite.
  • Clarity- Blue Tanzanite may be either flawless or highly utilized. The clarity grade has a significant impact on its consistency and value. As a result, it is important to consider the various terminology used in the industry and the inclusions found in Tanzanite. The GIA classifies Tanzanite as a Type 1 gemstone, so it must be flawless to be considered top quality. Tanzanite can be found in relatively clean crystals. As a result, when purchasing, the quality is completely "flawless" or glare stones. If you can see some tiny holes, crystals, or inclusions within Tanzanite with your own eyes, the stone can sell for a lower price.
  • Cut- Check for stones with perfectly straight, well-cut faces. Is there a bulge on one side of the cushion? Is the round, in reality, round? Are the heart's lobes of similar size? If not, you must decide how much this will affect your enjoyment of the stone. Look for "windows" in the stone as well, which are parts of the stone that appear almost white or translucent. When a stone is poorly cut, light spills through the base of the stone instead of reflecting off the edges and back to your eye. The cut's consistency is extremely critical. It is a field that is often ignored in this day and age of catalogue websites that offer mass amounts of medium grades cut in India's cutting houses. When cutting, these cutting houses usually employ a slew of weight-saving methods, which can raise the finished weight of a Tanzanite by up to 30%. This means that the actual real cost of a Tanzanite will be far higher than you know.
  • Carat weight- This is the final of the four Cs and has the least effect on consistency. A carat is a weight measurement unit that equals one-fifth of a gram. In general, the larger the Tanzanite crystal in the same consistency bracket, the more uncommon it is. This is because larger crystals took longer to form, which is impressive given that Tanzanite can take over 500 million years to develop! Within quality brackets, carat weight becomes essential. Of course, a 3 carat striking, investment-grade color with top clarity is much more rare and precious than a 10 carat B-grade color with inclusions.

 

Some other factors to consider when deciding to buy high-quality Tanzanite

  1. Lighting- Tanzanite is highly light-sensitive, with fluorescent (yellow) lighting causing it to turn violet. Be mindful that your Tanzanite can appear very different inside at night and outside during the day.
  2. Some people are drawn to the concept of "unheated tanzanite," which is sold at a higher cost by some retailers. It is impossible to prove whether tanzanite was heated by man or by accident, and no credible gemological laboratory would certify for "unheated" Tanzanite.
  3. Diamonds are the only gemstone with a standardized grading scheme. Consequently, there is a perplexing variety of words used to characterize Tanzanite on the internet, most of which are completely arbitrary and dependent on the author's personal opinion, education, and commercial motives. Because of this, customers need to purchase from a reliable source.

Tanzanite Imitations, Synthetics and Enhancements - What to Watch Out For when buy high-quality Tanzanite?

When we buy high-quality tanzanite, one of the most concerning things is whether what is being purchased is genuine. From a buyer perspective, it is essential to be aware of the pitfalls that exist in the market in this regard.

Though Tanzanites are rarely synthesized, many other limitations and treatments, such as coatings, exist in the market that a tanzanite buyer must take care of.

Tanzanite Synthetics

Tanzanite has never been successfully synthesized. However, such an attempt has been made in the last decade in Russia. However, Gemologists can easily identify synthesized/manufactured Tanzanite using several tests. 

As a layman, you can spot tanzanite synthesis by looking closely at the back facets with a loupe which can be easily purchased from the market. 

Imitations

The most common tanzanite imitations are Cubic Zirconia (CZ), Yttrium Aluminum Garnet (YAG) Synthetic Spinel, and coloured glass.

One can easily spot these imitations as all of these are singly refractive, whereas Tanzanite is doubly refractive.  

Coatings

The coating is another factor to beware of in Tanzanite. It is an attempt that sellers usually try to coat lower grade Tanzanite with a light cobalt coating to improve the appearance/ look of the colour. Though nowadays this practise is rarely used, it is essential to be aware of it.

Buying high-quality tanzanite seems an exciting exercise, as you are purchasing something rare and beautiful. However, it is equally important to be informed of the significant pitfalls and sidestep them as an informed buyer.
