Tanzanite

One of the least popular, most beautiful and rarest stones today - Tanzanite was first discovered in 1967 in the Merelani Hills of Tanzania, East Africa. It is very rare and one of the most recently discovered colored gemstones and was added to the American Trade Association's official list in October 2002 as another December birthstone . Within a few decades, it has gained great popularity all over the world. Tanazanite is becoming an increasingly rare stone, because its main deposit is already almost mined, and new ones have not been found.

What makes tanzanite rare and unique is its beautiful pure blue color , often turning into a deep purple hue.

Tanzanite is a variety of zoisite , rarely showing a pure blue color, it is usually violet-blue. But it is also often found as a brown stone, which is subsequently modified by heating to the resulting beautiful blue color. Although it is possible to wear it as a piece of jewelry on a daily basis, this mineral is very fragile, so it is necessary to protect it from impacts and extreme temperature changes. Tanzanite is one of the most valued gemstones in jewelry. It was first promoted by the Tiffany company in New York.

Legend has it that tanzanite was first noticed by the Maasai , cattle herders after a fire caused by lightning burned an area in Tanzania. Due to the high temperature, the brown zoisites turned dark blue to purple.
