JTV Loose Tanzanite Gemstone in Acrylic Collector Case

This item consists of a single, loose, round-faceted tanzanite gemstone displayed within a clear acrylic square collector's jar. The gemstone exhibits a distinct violet-blue pleochroic hue, characteristic of tanzanite, with visible light-reflective facets that suggest a brilliant-cut style. Based on the scale relative to the holding fingers, the stone appears to be approximately 4-5mm in diameter, likely weighing between 0.30 and 0.50 carats. The acrylic case features the 'jtv' (Jewelry Television) logo printed in black on the top surface, identifying the retailer. The stone appears to be house-set on a internal white or clear cushion to prevent movement. The condition of the gemstone appears to be excellent with no visible chips or surface abrasions to the naked eye, while the acrylic packaging shows minor surface scuffing common with retail storage. Tanzanite is a modern discovery (1967) and is sourced exclusively from the Merelani Hills of Tanzania; this particular specimen likely dates to the 21st century. The craftsmanship of the cut appears standard for commercial-grade retail gemstones, aiming for maximum brilliance and color saturation.
