Product Description for 4x4mm Heart Shape 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.

"i purchased this stone because the reviews were consistent about it having good color, and the stone i recieved had very good color, except that it was more violet than blue. Im not sure if a AAA violet/blue stone is less valueble than a stone with an A blue color "tanzalight". I dont see why it would, but i guess the tanzanite snobs have made it so. Other than the stigma of it being more violet, it is gorgeous. color is deep, dark, small stone, worth the money, cut is good, no chips/scratches/inclusions. Thanks jtv!"

"I didn't realize when I ordered this item that it didn't post in the description the weight. So when it came I was very disappointment the cut was awful, it was much smaller than expected, but the color was surprisingly good. Thank God for JTV's wonderful return policy I had it back in the mail the very same day. But hopefully I can find something else to buy that will be wonderful since this purchase I have already ordered several other things and this is the only thing that I have ever returned."

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.
