Found in just one place on earth, tanzanite is a relatively recent discovery. Tiffany & Co named this blue-violet variety of zoisite in honor of Tanzania, where it was first unearthed in 1967. Top-quality tanzanite can be violetish blue --similar to a fine sapphire color or a unique, predominately violet hue all its own. Lighter toned pastel hues are more plentiful and affordable than vivid colors and have a subtle appeal of their own.
Tanzanite is a birthstone for December and is the gem for a 24th anniversary.
