{"product_id":"tanzanian-tanzanite-1-18ct-oval-unheated","title":"Tanzanian Tanzanite | 1.18ct Oval | Unheated","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis 1.18 carat oval cut tanzanite from the Merelani Hills of Tanzania shows vivid, natural blue-violet color with a classic blue-to-violet shift as the gem turns. The stone measures 7.8 x 5.7 x 3.8mm and is eye clean and loupe clean, meaning no inclusions are visible even under magnification. It's completely unheated, and the greenish yellow hue visible on the underside is the natural indicator of that, because heat treatment removes it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTanzanite is found in only one location on Earth, the Merelani Hills of Tanzania, and nearly all tanzanite on the market has been heat treated to enhance its color. In its unheated form, tanzanite is exceptionally rare, which makes this stone valuable to collectors, jewelers, and stone medicine practitioners, who work only with untreated stones. Its untouched state keeps the full spectrum of its original energetic blueprint intact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWHAT THIS STONE IS USED FOR\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTanzanite is a stone of spiritual awakening in the stone medicine space, known for bridging the heart and mind through the third eye and heart chakras. It also activates the crown and etheric chakras, facilitating spiritual growth, intuitive clarity, and emotional healing, and its natural energy strengthens emotional resilience and inspires alignment with your higher self. In my vibrational framework, heat-treated or irradiated tanzanite lacks these vibrational qualities and isn't suitable for spiritual work, which makes an unheated stone like this one a genuinely different tool, not just a rarer version of the same gem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne advantage of a faceted gemstone over a rough crystal is the culet, the pointed tip at the base of the stone, which acts as a focused energy director, much like the tip of a Vogel Crystal. By pointing the culet directly at the body, you can concentrate and deliver the stone's vibrational frequencies into a specific point instead of letting them radiate outward in all directions. In fine jewelry, this oval makes an elegant center stone for a ring or pendant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVIBRATIONAL PROFILE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis unheated tanzanite emits the violet and indigo frequencies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eViolet Frequency:\u003c\/strong\u003e The violet frequency is a powerful force for building up the spleen and white blood cells, supporting the lymphatic system, and revitalizing the etheric energy body. It moves more quickly and penetrates more deeply than the white frequency, and it has the unique ability to amplify any other vibrational frequency it accompanies. Rudolf Steiner identified violet as the Life Ether, the highest of the four ethers, and described its capacity to penetrate solid matter and anchor spiritual archetypes into physical form. Working with the violet band can strengthen spiritual focus and open the way to deeper meditative states. The violet band also connects to the 'Violet Flame' of Western esotericism, which inspires spiritual awakening and etheric revitalization.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIndigo Frequency:\u003c\/strong\u003e The indigo frequency stimulates the parathyroid, supports the production of phagocytes (the white blood cells that destroy harmful cells and materials), and is the most potent pain reliever among the visible color frequencies. Energetically, indigo is astringent, condensing, and sedating, and it is the rarest vibration found in nature. Indigo opens the mind to deep contemplation, intuition, and profound spiritual initiation. Rene Schwaller de Lubicz noted that a great alchemical secret is hidden within the indigo color, as seen in the indigo stained glass crafted by the master builders of Chartres Cathedral.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTogether, the violet and indigo frequencies support higher consciousness, spiritual growth, and emotional balance, deepening intuitive abilities and opening pathways to higher spiritual truths.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMINERAL TYPE:\u003c\/strong\u003e Zoisite (variety tanzanite)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCUT:\u003c\/strong\u003e Oval\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePHENOMENON:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pleochroism (blue and violet, with a slight greenish yellow on the underside indicating no heat)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCOLOR:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blue-violet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCLARITY:\u003c\/strong\u003e Eye clean, loupe clean\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTRANSPARENCY:\u003c\/strong\u003e Transparent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWEIGHT:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.18 ct.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSIZE:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.8 x 5.7 x 3.8mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eORIGIN:\u003c\/strong\u003e Merelani Hills, Tanzania\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTREATMENT:\u003c\/strong\u003e None (untreated, no heat)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHARDNESS:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6-7 (Mohs scale)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eREFRACTIVE INDEX (RI):\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.691-1.700\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBIREFRINGENCE:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.008\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSPECIFIC GRAVITY (SG):\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.35\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCRYSTAL SYSTEM:\u003c\/strong\u003e Orthorhombic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCHEMICAL COMPOSITION:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ca₂Al₃(SiO₄)₃(OH)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e✦ HAND-SELECTED AND VIBRATIONALLY TESTED\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tanzanite has been personally sourced and tested by Ashley Sohl, Ph.D. candidate, GIA-trained gemologist, and originator of archetypal stonework.
