TANZANITE

TANZANITE

Tanzanite is a blue variety of the mineral zoisite containing vanadium and consisting of calcium aluminium silicate. The nature has created tanzanite millions of years ago of metamorphic schists, gneisses and quartzites. However, it was just found in 1967 by Masai shepherds in the Merelani Hills close Arusha in the north of Tanzania, Africa. The stone was named as "blue zoisite" when it was first discovered. The name was changed soon after since the sound is too similar to the English word 'suicide'. In the end, Tanzania, the spot where the stone was found gave the name to the stone. What makes Tanzanite one of a kind is that it can only be found in one spot in the entire world. Moreover, its dark blue colour is the thing that distinguishes it from other gemstones; its colour varies from ultramarine blue to light violet-blue and it has a polychromaticity structure which implies the stone may appear to be blue, purple or brownish-yellow based on the angle from which you look at it.

Tanzanite has obtained a reputation for being the gemstone of the twentieth century and turns into the most adored stone. Although the process of giving meaning to the stone has finished yet, it is clear that it exemplifies flawlessness, yet stylish and symbolises classic beauty and magnificence.
