    Product Description for Min 1.00ct 6.5x6.5mm Trillion Tanzanite

    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.

    "This is the first time around for this particular item, it was supposed to be my Christmas present. My tanzanite looks nothing like the picture or the one on tv that I saw. The color was very very light, although blue. I brought it to a high end jeweler right away and he said that the color was very bad and when he weighed it, it only came out to .98ctw. I am exchanging it in hopes that jtv corrects the problem. I will update the review of the new one once I receive it."
