Gemstone Details
Tanzanite is truly a Lavender Zoisite
was discovered in 1967 at the foot of Mount Kilamanjaro, in Tanzania
Africa, hence it's name. It's color comes from the presence of
vanadium. It was discovered by the Vice President of
Tiffany's, which had exclusive rights to tell the stone originally.
A quite beautiful, delicately tinted stone,
tanzanite will no longer be available when the major mines in Tanzania are
depleted, and they are nearly exhausted already.
Both yellow and green zoisite have been found in
Zanzania, but their gem quality is not quite that of the tanzanite.
