      Product Description for Min .33ctw 4x4mm Trillion Tanzanite Matched Pair-T1T3150

      Tanzanite 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.

      "These are a beautiful blue/purple, not AAA but that's okay. I got these to match an oval Tanzanite I recieved in a parcel, which they do nicely. I'm planning to replace some blue topaz in a ring that I've had for years."

      		 Tanzanite



      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.
