A D-Block Princess Cut Tanzanite at 15.34 Carats
This tanzanite gemstone carries a D-Block grading, the top tier in the color saturation scale used to grade tanzanite, reflecting the deepest and most richly saturated blue-violet color the stone can achieve. Tanzanite comes from a single source on earth, the area around Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, and at 15.34 carats, this princess cut stone represents a substantial size within that limited supply.
The princess cut is a square or rectangular brilliant style known for maximizing brightness and fire through its faceting pattern, and it suits tanzanite well by highlighting the stone's pleochroism, the way its color shifts subtly between blue and violet depending on the viewing angle. Measuring 13.53 x 12.25 x 10.96 mm, this stone has real presence as a center piece, whether set into a ring, pendant, or custom jewelry commission. D-Block material at this carat weight represents the upper end of what the tanzanite market produces, since the combination of top grade color and substantial size doesn't come to market often.
