Cabochon - Cabochon Tanzanite (Nam Phi) - Tanzanite

The color is a deep, electric violet that shifts in the light, and the dome shape sits perfectly flat on the bottom for easy setting. I’ve already started sketching a bezel design around it, and the polish is so clean it barely needs any extra work. Definitely a standout piece for my collection.

The smooth, rounded polish really lets the stone’s natural violet-blue glow catch the light from every angle. I’m already planning to set it in a pendant, and the shape sits perfectly in a bezel without any sharp edges.

The smooth, rounded dome catches the light beautifully—it’s exactly the kind of polished surface that makes setting it into a pendant a breeze. I’ve got it sitting on my workbench for a custom ring, and the violet-blue just glows in natural sunlight.
