Is anyone knowledgeable re gemstones?

[TellerTuesday4EVA]

Would anyone be able to tell me the name of this gemstone?

Between 4 of us, 2 say it's purple the other 2 say blue.

Not sure if you can tell from the photo.

Please ignore my gnarled fingers, really shouldn't have cancelled the last beautician appointment.

Tanzanite.

I think it's tanzanite? It's a beautiful ring.

Another vote for tanzanite

Yes, my immediate thought was tanzanite.

Yep, looks like tanzanite.

Yes tanzanite, my favourite gemstone. The colour is stunning.

Could be tanzanite, could be cubic zirconia coloured to look like tanzanite. It is a very bright colour, which is what makes me wonder.

Interesting, thank you all so far.

I'm one of the two of us that said purple rather than blue, it doesn't look as dark blue as that photo from PP.

If you google tanzanite there are some examples that look more like yours.

Tanzanite is notorious for looking different under different lights and from different angles.

Yes its tanzanite. iirc its only mined in one place in the world - Tanzania, hence the name. Limited supply has a positive impact on price due to rarity....

My first thought was amethyst, I’ve never heard of tanzanite.
