Tanzanite may just be one of the most amazing, if not the most amazing mineral to be discovered in the 20th century. It's enigmatic and distinctive tones of violet, indigo, purple and blues into shades of green and red with your unheated varieties and specific orientations and light.
Appreciated by collectors, gemmologists, jewellers, lapidarists and by the esoteric/spiritual community, Tanzanite transcends singularities, shifts perspective, it can literally change colour as you turn the stone in your hands, and its rarity only adds to its mystique.
Discovered in Tanzania in 1967 and proven to be the only source of the material in the world due to a recent debunking of what was named "Prairie Tanzanite", found in the USA to be a combination of Lepidolite, Feldspar and other lithium pegmatite material.
