Product Description for Min 1.25ct 7mm Round Tanzanite-T0728Tanzanite 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 ordered this stone to replace another one that I was sending back. I never sent the other stone back and kept them both. This stone is so nice. It has a strong blue violet color and is clean. The picture on the website does not reflect the true color that I received. I have yet to get it appraised but the price was better than the smaller stone."

"I recently ordered this tanzanite as the price was "Old School." The stone was a lovely cut, and well over the 1.25 ct.s. Unfortunately I sent the stone back as it was lighter than I was hopping. Maybe I'm spoiled, and the quality is getting lighter, however for me I'll keep looking. This stone was wonderful, but not great enough for me to add to my collection."

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.
