Product Description for Min .75ct 6mm Round Tanzanite-T0555Tanzanite was discovered in 1967. It has a unique violet-blue to blue color that only Ceylon sapphire and iolite come close to matching, with red-violet flashes. Tanzanite ranks a respectable 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs' scale, but loose stones and jewelry like rings and bracelets need to be treated with care to prevent damage. Tanzanite is only found in one place in the world, Tanzania, and the continued availability of tanzanite is uncertain, which increases its rarity and its price.

"The stone is very well cut and sparkles nicely, but didn't have the color I was expecting. The website and tv presentation showed a bluer stone. This one is more on the purple side, so will be sending it back."

"This was a very pretty, clean stone but it only measured 5.25mm so I'm rerturning it and hoping to get a 6mm like the description says. Then I might be able to give it a better review."

"My stone was not quite 6 mm. I have never, ever received the larger stones that the show hosts always talk about -- never. As a matter of fact, this one blew me away when I measured it. Disappointed to say the least."

"The picture doesn't do this stone justice! The color is about right, however the clarity is by no means shown in this picture. It's perfect. I had this gemstone appraised at a local jeweler for $1800! I was expecting a bit of a mark-up value for it in the retail world, but I never expected this. You can't beat this price, ladies. This is a steal! It isn't the deepest of violet among tanzanite, however for what is available nowadays, this is a beautiful stone. Thanks so much JTV!"

Fast Facts
| The mineral zoisite was discovered around 1805 in the Austrian area by a Baron for whom it was named. It was usually brown in color, often nearly opaque. |
| The discovery by accident of the tanzanite version, in the late 1960's was a great surprise in Tanzania Africa, where it was first thought to be sapphire crystals. |
| The name Tanzanite was coined by Tiffany who had first and exclusive rights to the pretty blue violet mineral for many years. |
| Wearing a well-cut Tanzanite communicates self-confidence, individuality, and maturity. |
 Its brilliant color and its exclusive origin in Tanzania combine to make Tanzanite a unique and highly sought after gemstone. |
|
Tanzanite is a variety of zoisite. It has naturally occurring shades of blue, green, yellow, pink, brown and khaki but virtually all gemstone quality crystals are heat treated to produce the highly valued shades of sapphire blue, amethyst and blue violet. On Mohs’ scale of hardness, tanzanite is 6.5-7. The prime source of all the world’s tanzanite is in Tanzania near Arusha.
