TANZANITE

TANZANITE

Tanzanite is a blue variety of the gemstone, zoisite, and it contains vanadium and calcium aluminium silicate. It was first discovered in 1967 by Masai shepherds in the Merelani Hills near Arusha in the north of Tanzania, Africa. The stone was formed millions of years ago from metamorphic schists, gneisses and quartzites. It was originally called "blue zoisite", but the name was changed because it sounded too similar to the English word "suicide." The current name "Tanzanite" was coined from Tanzania, where the stone was discovered. What makes Tanzanite special and unique is that it is found only in one location in the world. Furthermore, its deep blue colour distinguishes it from other gems; its colour ranges from ultramarine blue to light violet-blue. It has an attractive polychromatic structure, making it appear blue, purple, or brownish-yellow depending on the angle from which it is viewed.

Specialists enthusiastically celebrate it as the 'gemstone of the 20th century', and it has become one of the most popular and snazzy stones. Although the significance of the stone is still being unveiled, it personifies immaculate yet unconventional elegance and represents eternal beauty and confidence.
