The  Ttanzanite birthstone is a rare gem found only amidst bizarre geological formations rolling up from the expansive plains of northern Tanzania. Technically, it is just a blue Zoisite crystal. But the astonishing richness of its color encouraged jewelers to put it into a class of its own; they named this breathtaking blue wonder after its native country- Tanzania.

Tanzanite jewelry’s striking navy overlaid with mysterious violet can provide its wearer an impression of spunky, yet elegant confidence and authority. A stubborn stone, yet jewelers take great pains to cut against its defined cleavage and cook out the naturally occurring brownish tint and without cracking the stone. Combined with its rarity, this meticulous process makes the gem worth its substance in…tanzanite.

Tanzanite is delicate which should be gently cleaned with lukewarm water and a cloth. Avoid commercial and ultrasonic cleansing.
