    Product Description for Min 1.00ct 6.5x6.5mm Trillion Tanzanite-T2667

    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.

    "Very pretty but a tad too light in color for me. I have another 1.20 ct tanzanite and when I received this stone I put it up next to the other one to compare. This one was lighter and I paid more for it than the 1.20 ct. Still looking for that irresistable bargain. By the way the cut was excellent."

    "It's a beautiful stone, definitely worth the price. The cut is excellent. The color is deep and consistent throughout. The color isn't the deep blue-purple but deep purple-blue still AAA quality."

    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.
