Product Description for Min 1.25ct 8x6mm Oval Tanzanite-TCV002Tanzanite 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 COULD NOT WAIT UNTIL THE MAIL CAME TO SEE THE STONE. I OPEN THE PACKAGE AND LOOK AT IT. I WAS SPEECHLESS, IT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL. THIS STONE IS ONE THAT HAS TO BE HIGH BECAUSE OF THE COLOR. THIS ONE TOUCH, DOES NOT EVEN COME CLOSE TO MY OTHER TANZANITE STONES. I AM VERY PLEASE AND EXCITE ABOUT THIS ONE STONE. I WANT TO GET APPRAISE. I WISH I COULD AFFORD ONE OF THE BIG ONES. I JUST LOVE THIS TANAZANITE COLOR. BLUE IS MY FLAVOR COLOR. THANK YOU FOR THE AMAZING STONE. I WILL BE TRYING TO PURCHASE MORE. MIGHT HAVE TO SAVE UP TO GET A BIG ONE. IT IS HARD TO DO WHEN YOU WATCH THE SHOW AND SEE GREAT DEAL. I NEED TO TURN THE TV OFF. ( BUT YOU KNOW I WON'T) SMILING. NOW, I WANT TO GET A VERY NICE SEMI-MOUNT TO FINISH THE LOOK OF THE STONE. IT WILL HAVE TO BE A SPECIAL ONE. I SEE SEVERAL BUT NEVER SEE THE SIZE I NEED WHEN I SEE ONE LIKE.

"I had it checked out buy a jewler. he said the color was really good and appraised it for almost $200 more than what I paid. he said the cut was a little off otherwise it would be worth $900. It also weighed 1.29 carats. I'm pleased with the buy"

"This stone is a dark blue with flashes of reds and purples. Really nice. Get your tanzanite while you can. It won't be affordable to the general public for long."

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.
