Product Description for Min 10.00ctw Mm Varies Round Tanzanite ParcelTanzanite 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.

"THESE WERE VERY TINY STONES, OF THE PROBABLY 100 THAT I RECEIVED (DIDNT COUNT BUT ESTIMATED) ONLY 2 HAD A GOOD COLOR, BUT NONE WERE ANYTHING YOU COULD USE IN A PIECE OF JEWELRY ALONE (AND IM NOT A GIRL WHO LIKES BIG ROCKS). I WAS EXPECTING A LOT OF LITTLE STONES, BUT THOUGHT I COULD EXPECT AT LEAST 1 STONE THAT COULD BE SET BY ITSELF. I ALSO HAD ONE THAT LOOKED PINK, WHICH I THOUGHT WAS ODD FOR TANZANITE. REMEMBER FELLOW SHOPPERS, YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!!!!!"

"Concept of size of stones is deceiving. Very small stones, unless one is a jeweler I think they are useless for you. Returned mine."

"Another parcel of chips that can only be used for refractometer skill practice. The color was pretty much as the picture is and everyone of them is a round. Largest one (and only 1) is 3mm. Mostly 2mm and under."

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.
