Description

Tanzanite is one of the newest gemstone to come to market and one of the more popular gemstones as well. Tanzanite is used mainly for ornamental jewelry and as mineral specimens. Tanzanite was discovered in 1967 by Masai tribesmen. It quickly was sold on the gemstone market for its beautiful hues and was marketed by Tiffany and Co. as the perfect stone for new born mothers. Tanzanite is considered one of the most beautiful gemstones mainly due to its beautiful hue of blue that is surrounded by a tinge of purple. Tanzanite is very rare and so far only mined in one specific place - Tanzania. Most Tanzanite gemstones are mined in relatively small mines along the northern Tanzania border. While most Tanzania minerals found are very small, once in a while, large masses of Tanzanite are found. The record so far is an unbelievable 16,000+ crystal that weighs more than 6 carats. This Tanzanite crystal is easily worth millions of dollars. Tanzanite, because of its rareness and beauty is very valuable, sometimes approaching diamonds for the very best color, size and attributes. Tanzanite is relatively hard, but wearers should be cautious when wearing it in a ring setting. Because it only has a hardness of 6.5 to 7 it can be cracked upon direct impact, it should also stay away from intense heat and even sonic baths. However, for normal wear it is usually fine. The most popular use for Tanzanite is for a present for mothers with new born children. The Masai of Africa state that Tanzanite brings life and Tiffany and Co. have accented this characteristic in their marketing.
