TANZANITE

TANZANITE

Tanzanite is a blue variety of the gemstone zoisite containing vanadium and it consists of calcium aluminium silicate. It was discovered firstly in 1967 by Masai shepherds in the Merelani Hills near Arusha in the north of Tanzania, Africa. That stone which was hidden from the eye of Human, is formed millions of years ago of metamorphic schists, gneisses and quartzites. At the beginning, it is named as “ blue zoisite”- however it was changed shortly after since it sounds too close to the English word 'suicide'. Tanzania, the place where the stone had been found gave its name to the stone. What makes Tanzanite special and unique is that it is found only in one place in whole world. In addition, its deep blue colour is another feature that distinguishes it from other gems; its colour runs from ultramarine blue to light violet-blue and it has a polychromaticity structure which means the stone may appear blue, purple or brownish-yellow depending on the angle from which you look at it.

It is enthusiastically celebrated by the specialists as the 'gemstone of the 20th century' and it has become one of the most popular and snazzy stone. Although the process of giving meaning to stone has not concluded yet, it is obvious that it personifies immaculate, yet unconventional elegance and represents eternal beauty and confidence.
