Tanzanite, a gemstone celebrated for its mesmerizing violet-blue color, is highly sought after for its unique and captivating hue, which can appear blue, violet, or even burgundy depending on the lighting and angle. Rated between 6.5 and 7 on the Mohs scale, tanzanite is somewhat softer than other popular gemstones, which means it requires careful handling and is often reserved for special-occasion jewelry. What makes tanzanite particularly rare is that it is found in only one place on Earth—near Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, making it a thousand times rarer than diamonds. As a trichroic gemstone, tanzanite exhibits different colors when viewed from different directions, adding to its allure. It has been designated as the birthstone for December, symbolizing transformation and new beginnings. This particular tanzanite is oval-cut, a shape that enhances its depth of color and brilliance, making it an exquisite choice for jewelry that demands attention and admiration.
