About Tanzanites…

Named after its country of origin, Tanzanite is a rare gemstone that is only found in one place on earth – Tanzania. Discovered in 1967 in the Arusha region of Tanzania, this exceptionally beautiful and exceedingly rare blue gemstone is only found within a 14 square kilometre mining area near the Merelani Hills of Tanzania.

The gemstone is noted for its ability to exhibit several colours simultaneously, including blue, violet and burgundy in varying intensity depending on the crystal structure of the particular stone. This allows for the ability to create a beautiful array of Tanzanite Jewellery that displays a range of different colours from light blues and lilacs to deep indigos and violets. When cut with excellence and precision, this spectrum of colour may be observed at its maximum intensity when the gemstone is viewed from different perspectives.
