JTV Loose Tanzanite or Sapphire Gemstone

This item is a loose, faceted gemstone presented in a square, transparent plastic protective display case. The gemstone features an oval cut and exhibits a distinct violet-to-blue hue, characteristic of tanzanite or a light sapphire. The stone appears to be approximately 0.5 to 1.0 carats based on its scale relative to the person's hand. The gemstone displays visible brilliance and light play through its crown facets. The protective plastic jar is marked with the 'jtv' lowercase logo, identifying the retailer as Jewelry Television (JTV), a well-known home shopping network and online retailer specializing in gems and jewelry. The case is a standard gem-jar design with a screw-top or pressure-fit lid and a white sponge or foam insert to hold the stone securely. The condition of the gemstone appears excellent and unused, though the plastic case shows minor tangential surface scuffs from handling. Such items are typically sold as 'vault' or 'collection' pieces for hobbyist jewelers or collectors. The color saturation is medium-light with visible pleochroism suggested by the purple-blue tones. Given the branding and presentation, this is likely a contemporary commercial-grade gemstone cut with modern automated precision machinery to maximize clarity and carat weight.
