Killer Tanzanite thumbnail that's also a great association piece.  Fine, gemmy blue Tanzanite crystal with excellent luster and great transparency with attached distinct, individual Prehnite crystals (analyzed) on the backside.

In addition to the Prehnite, there are white crystals of an unidentified mineral also attached to the backside. A very nice Tanzanite, undamaged with TOP luster, good color and highly gemmy.
