A monumental 104.39-carat cushion-cut tanzanite is the star of this eye-catching pendant. The gem has been certified by the American Gemological Laboratories (AGL) as being untreated, meaning that no clarity or thermal enhancements have been used to achieve its vivid purplish blue color. Virtually all tanzanite stones are heat treated, so a perfect untreated stone such as this one is an extraordinary find. As its certification states, "The unusual combination of size, provenance and quality factors present in this material contributes favorably to its rarity and desirability."

The tanzanite is found in only one location worldwide, the East African state of Tanzania, and remains one of the most sought-after stones on the market. Discovered in 1962 in the shadow of Mount Kilimanjaro, this new gem drew the attention of Tiffany & Co., which gave it the name “tanzanite.” It has maintained a steady popularity ever since.

This example is set in platinum and 18K gold with diamond accents totaling approximately 2.98 carats.
