This 20.88 ct. Tanzanite carving by Dalan Hargrave, measuring 55 x 8.7 x 4.7 mm, beautifully illustrates the stages of transformation found in nature. The piece begins with clusters of eggs at the base, progressing upward through the caterpillar and chrysalis, and culminating in a fully formed butterfly at the top.
Skillfully executed, this carving highlights both the natural beauty of Tanzanite and the artistry involved in bringing such a detailed concept to life.
