The African Gemstone
The History of Tanzanite, the African gemstone.
Discovered in the foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro in 1967 when a Masai tribesman stumbled upon a formation of intense, highly transparent crystals in the northern part of Tanzania. It was quickly named Tanzanite after Tanzania, the country in which it was discovered. This spectacular violet-blue tanzanite is found in only one location on earth, making it a truly African gemstone. A thousand times rarer than a diamond, the supply of Tanzanite gemstones is only expected to last one more generation, thus not only a beautiful gem but a sound investment.
Striking Features
This beautiful stone is able to show off different colors when looked at from different angles. You will primarily see an intense bluish violet color with glimpses of red. This multifaceted stone is perfect for a stunning piece of jewelry as no two tanzanite stones will ever look identical thanks to its unique properties.
The African gemstone tanzanite is often cut as a multifaceted gemstone in order to make the appearance shine through. They have a brilliant clarity and are some of the most visible and transparent stones.

With severely limited stock this stone is for someone who wants something truly unique and totally their own.
