Purple Tanzanite

Purple Tanzanite Cushion 16.15 CT Dimensions 13x9x6mm.

A purple tanzanite cushion combines a rare, color-shifting gemstone with a classic, brilliant square shape. It symbolizes nobility, transformation, and spiritual awakening. The cushion cut maximizes the gem's fire, while its purple hue is associated with the Crown Chakra and heightened intuition. 

Breaking Down the Meaning

• The Purple Hue: In crystal healing, purple tanzanite is believed to signify intelligence, royalty, and magic. It is frequently linked to the Crown Chakra, which governs cosmic connection, wisdom, and inner peace. 
• The Cushion Cut: The cushion shape (a square with rounded corners) is specifically engineered to maximize brilliance and fire. Cut in this style, the stone represents timelessness, romance, and elegance. 
• Tanzanite as a Gem: Found only in the Merelani Hills of Tanzania, tanzanite symbolizes rarity and new beginnings. Because of its unique crystal structure, it exhibits pleochroism, meaning it naturally shifts between deep purple, violet, and blue depending on the lighting.

Care and Value

Because of their unique color origins, many tanzanite stones are gently heat-treated to lock in their vibrant, prized colors. With a rating of about 6.5 on the Mohs hardness scale, a tanzanite cushion requires slightly more careful wear and should be stored safely.
