I would guess tanzanite.

Nice! The tanzanite with CCB's that surfaced a few months ago was much darker. This looks like something between Le Mans and interlagos.

Blindside_137 · 09-01-2014, 11:07 AM

Here it is.

Savory · 09-01-2014, 11:30 AM

That over YMB all day for me

Seems to really depend on the light though:

I doubt Tanzanite is that light under any light. Tanzanite has more depth than this one.
Look more like a darker MCB.

I agree it changes. But it brightens under sunlight and showroom lighting conditions. Those in the OP appear to he overcast. I attached the pic of tanzanite in similar overcast conditions and it is much darker.

I agree with the poster above on MCB.

That original shot looks a bit light for Tanzanite, no?

W17NNY · 09-01-2014, 12:36 PM

Not sure what colour it is but it looks crap. Boring.

I know. I thought BSM was my favorite. But then I look at TB...

trueee..Its perfect for BSM lovers who want to change it up and not go mineral grey and still stay dark. Azurite blue looks boss too. I still love BSM tho.

Art__Vandelay · 09-01-2014, 01:55 PM

I doubt this is Tanzanite Blue, I looks more like Le Mans Blue.

Pinkoboe · 09-01-2014, 02:40 PM

I like it! Sort of Le Mans Blue, but I think just a bit darker.

Henrayy///M · 09-01-2014, 02:52 PM

hopefully it's just the fact that it's dirty, but it looks incredible tame, or boring for the lack of a better word.
...But still looks good tho

haynstyleM2 · 09-01-2014, 02:53 PM

definitely too light for TB......it's way darker than that.

chris s · 09-01-2014, 03:32 PM

Looks like topaz blue to me. Pretty boring IMHO.

DieGrüneHölle · 09-01-2014, 03:35 PM

It could be TB, phone camera not the greatest at capturing correct colors.

TB M4 from anonther thread.

Tanzanite can take on many shades of blue. It can look very blue, almost light blue in sunlight. But also look very dark on cloudy days.

DieGrüneHölle · 09-01-2014, 03:40 PM

Sunlight

Cloudy/Overcast
