A583 - Tanzanite Gemstone $ 550 Alchuri, Shigar Valley, Pakistan cabinet - 10.8 x 7.2 mm 
Fancy cut 4.5 carat green Zoisite gemstone. The stone was cut by Pala International about 10 years ago and appraised at that time at $500. I have kept the price at that value although surely it has appreciated over time. The stone measures 10.8 x 7.2mm. Alchuri sporadically produces these green gems and is the world's second best source of gem Zoisite, also known as Tanzanite. ©2010 Marin Mineral |
