The rarest of all zoisite colors is pink, and good quality specimens are much sought after by collectors. The opaque massive form of pink zoisite is known as thulite and is relatively common. But the pink color is very rare in crystalline form, and transparent zoisite in any shade of pink is quite valuable. Collectible pink tanzanite should be natural and unheated, and uncut crystals specimens, as well as cut and faceted gems, are highly valued.

Pink tanzanite is so rare that many dealers have never encountered it. Usually specimens of pink tanzanite have a strong tint of orange, or are at best a salmon pink. Pure pink material, such as the specimens shown from our collection, is exceptionally rare.
