Collectie: Tanzanite

Tanzanite is a rare and captivating gemstone known for its deep blue to violet hues, often with flashes of red or burgundy depending on the light. It is a variety of the mineral zoisite and was first discovered in Tanzania in 1967—where it remains the only known source.

Tanzanite’s unique pleochroism means it can display different colors when viewed from different angles, making it especially mesmerizing when properly cut. It rates around 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs hardness scale, making it suitable for jewelry with some care.

Highly prized for its beauty and rarity, Tanzanite symbolizes transformation, intuition, and spiritual awakening, often used in fine jewelry and as a modern birthstone for December.
