5 things everyone should know about Tanzanite

Although tanzanite is a relatively new gemstone, it has already attained the same level of popularity as its peers like rubies, diamonds, sapphires, etc. Tanzanite is considered a desirable gem in the market, particularly because of its vibrant violetish-blue hue. Over the years, celebrities have frequently sported it on the red carpet, piquing the public's interest for this eye-catching gemstone. Thanks to its elegance and rarity, tanzanite jewelry pieces go on to become priced heirlooms. But what makes it so special?

Here are 5 interesting things everyone should know about tanzanite:- 

Found only in Tanzania

This gemstone has only ever been mined in Tanzania. In recent years, miners were required to dig farther than 800 meters to find it, given the inflating demand for tanzanite jewelry. The mining and selling of tanzanite is regulated by the Tanzanian government to ensure that it remains ethical and sustainable. Today, due to exhaustive mining, the mines only span around 14 square kilometers.

Rarer than diamonds

Tanzanite is 1000 times rarer than diamonds because the formation of the stone is restricted to the foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro. Based on the fact that the current deposits of natural tanzanite will only sustain for a few years, due to exhaustive demand, some geologists refer to it as a "one generation gemstone."
