One thousand times rarer than diamonds, Tanzanite is a truly unique African gemstone, with an exceptionally brilliant blue-violet colour. Unique to the African continent, Tanzanite is found only in a small area of land at the foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro in Northern Tanzania and was only discovered in the late 1960s.

Tanzanite is strongly pleochroic and as the stone is rotated you can see blue, reddish purple, and bluish green or greenish yellow colors. Most tanzanite on the market is heated except for mineral specimens prized for their strong trichroic colors. Cut stones are heated to 550oC produce the blue violet color.
