Tanzanite

Poised between lush blue, vibrant violet and rich purple, exotic Tanzanite is found

in only one place on earth, near majestic Mount Kilimanjaro.  Named for Tanzania, the country where it was first unearthed in 1967, Tanzanite is the

blue to violet variety of the mineral Zoisite. It’s become one of the most popular

coloured gemstones. Tanzanite is pleochroic, showing three different colours

when viewed from different directions. Deep saturated violet blue or blue violet are

the most valuable Tanzanite colours.

Tanzanite is a birthstone for December, and is also the gem for

a 24th Wedding Anniversary.
