Product Description for Min .35ct 5x5mm Tr 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 2 tanzinite trillions to accent a stone I am building for a ring. One was perfect aaa quality, the other looked like a light blue topaz. Now I have had to order two more to get a match, then return the two durring the allowed time.I feel a need to mention this in the hopes that Jtv will direct people in packing to select simular stones when shipping.They are directly responsible for customer satisfaction. I called customer service and she was very helpful."

"When I saw Scott with this tanzanite he stated that it was gemi color and could not believe the price they were selling it for. On TV it looked to be a darker blue, but upon getting this stone it was a medimum shade of purple. They are going back."

"This was our first gemstone purchase and not our last by far. The thrill of owning such a gem is amazing. My husband is hooked on JTV now too, thanks to the wonderful quality and service we have experienced so far. We took an Alaskan cruise in 2005 and looked at their Tanzanite gemstones and jewelry. Operative words are "looked at". At their prices looking was all we could manage. But now thanks to JTV we are "owners", not just "lookers". Thank you JTV!"

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.
