4 Ways Tanzanite Stands Out from Its Alternatives

Tanzanite gemstones are highly sought after for their multidimensional colors and color changing properties. While the most dominant color is blue, it is also a characteristic shared with many other gemstones. So, as a buyer, it's essential to recognize the distinguishing features that set tanzanite apart from the rest.

We have outlined 4 top reasons along with some of our ravishing tanzanite loose stones here:

Nature’s Rare Masterpiece

When it comes to exclusivity, tanzanite takes the lead amongst its alternatives like sapphire, iolite, amethyst, and others. According to geologists, its formation is incredibly unique, and the likelihood of a similar occurrence is estimated at a million to one. Extracted from an area of about eight miles in Tanzania, tanzanite’s rarity is one of its primary claims to fame. Experience its magic firsthand with our unique collection, featuring this trillion-cut tanzanite.

Deep & Rich Hues

The saturation and vivid colors of tanzanite increase its value and make it desirable vis-à-vis other gemstones such as aquamarine and blue topaz. While sapphires can be used as imitations of tanzanite, the distinctive color of the latter accentuates its excellence. This is the reason tanzanite stands out as a bold choice. Exude confidence and sophistication with this cushion-cut gemstone, designed to captivate hearts.

Tantalizing Trichroism

Have you wondered what lends depth and complexity to tanzanite gemstones, such as this radiant-shaped beauty? It is trichroism, defined as the ability to display three colors from different angles. This is one of the tanzanite's most distinct characteristics, unlike amethyst (pleochroic) and iolite (dichroic).
