Tanzanite is a rare and highly prized gemstone known for its vivid blue to violet hues. It was discovered in 1967 in northern Tanzania near Mount Kilimanjaro, and it remains the only known source of gem-quality tanzanite in the world.

### Key Facts About Tanzanite:

* Color: Ranges from sapphire blue to deep violet. High-quality stones have strong saturation and are trichroic (showing three colors—blue, violet, and burgundy—depending on the viewing angle).

* Hardness: About 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs scale, making it softer than sapphires or diamonds—so it's often best suited for earrings, pendants, or occasional-wear rings.

* Value: Its rarity and single-location origin contribute to its high value, especially for deep blue/violet stones.

* Birthstone: Added as a December birthstone by the American Gem Trade Association in 2002.

* Treatment: Most tanzanite is heat-treated to enhance its blue and violet tones.
