Product Description for Min .75ct 6mm Round TanzaniteTanzanite 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.

"Cut & clarity are excellent, but the stone is not blue. It is lavender with flashes of rose & purple. If you want a tanzanite of this color, then this stone is for you. I was expecting blue, with just a few hints of lavender."

"What a great surprise, this is a beautiful stone, very clear and vivid color. Not the deep, dark color, but close. Will look great in a pendant. I highly recommend buying this at this price."

"The gem I received is pretty and clear to the eye. It is not as blue as depicted on the website, more of a lavender/blue. I did see a little gold/green flash in sunlight. In normal lighting it looks much like an amethyst. An appraisal will decide if it stays or it goes. Pretty stone though."

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.
