Tanzanite was the gemstone phenomena of the latter-20th century, discovered in 1967. This mesmerizing violetish-blue gemstone easily made its way to the list of collector’s and the jewelry boxes of women the world over.
What makes tanzanite jewelry so popular is so much more than the fascinating hues of the gemstone. Here are 5 reasons why the world finds jewelry made with tanzanite so very intriguing:-
1. As the story goes, during a massive storm, a lightning strike started a fire near the base of Mt. Kilimanjaro where a Masai herder later noticed several brilliant blue stones in the ground. It was found that the high temperature had turned the otherwise brown minerals blue and thus, tanzanite was born.
2. Tanzanite is extremely rare - it is found in a four kilometers wide and two kilometers long area at the foot of Mt. Kilimanjaro. The likelihood of finding tanzanite anywhere else on earth is one in a million, making it a thousand times rarer than diamonds.

3. Geologists around the globe estimate that at the current rate of mining, the available supply will be depleted within the next 25 years. As a result, tanzanite is known as the “gemstone of a generation”. This makes anyone owning the gemstone a custodian of something special.
4. Tanzanite is one of the few trichroic gemstones that man has discovered. Trichroism is the ability to display three colors within the same gemstone. As light passes through it, the stone shows a different color, depending on the angle of view. The three colors seen in tanzanite are shades of blue, violet and red.
5. Tanzanite was named as one of the four December birthstones in 2002, alongside the ruby, emerald and sapphire. It is known for its calming presence and tranquility and is said to promote thoughtfulness, wisdom and self-control.
