Product Description for Min 1.00ct 6.5mm Round 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 ordered two of these in hopes of getting them to match pretty closely, unfortunately they do not. Both stones are beautiful in their own right. They are both 1 carat in weight and I can not see any inclusions through a loop, but they have totally different characteristics. One stone is 7mm round, shallow depth and more of a medium purple. The other stone is 6.5mm round, deeper depth and a more of a medium blue. I will be keeping the stone with the blue saturation as this is more of the color I was looking for. At least by ordering two I was able to pick the one I really liked. But let me tell you for the price that JTV has reduced these stones to, either one would be an exceptional buy. I highly recommend getting at least one of these stones, you will not be disappointed!"

"The stone is pretty, nice sparkle. It is a light violet color, and in direct bright sunlight is a light medium blue (very pretty). Nothing dark blue/purple about this. I can only guess at the standards that I read about here on JTV and this does not meet my expectations. I had my friends and family vote on keeping this stone. They all voted YES. Would a zircon be as pretty?"

"The stone actually weighed 1.33cts. The color is great and the stone is flawless. I have purchased other Tanzanites from JTV and all of them have been well worth the price. You can't beat the price of these stones considering what the market it bringing."

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.
