tanzanite
Tanzanite Gemstone
Tanzanite captivates all who encounter it with its vibrant blue hues, interspersed with hints of violet that shimmer from different angles. Its unique colour and near-flawless clarity make it a gemstone that could easily be mistaken for a vivid blue sapphire. While tanzanite and sapphire may share some similarities, a closer inspection reveals the distinctive nature of this rare gem.
Tanzanite is not only prized for its stunning colour spectrum but also for its rarity. Discovered in Tanzania in 1967, it has since become a sought-after gemstone for those who desire something truly special in their jewellery collection. With both heated and unheated tanzanite available, each piece offers its own allure and charm. Whether set in engagement rings, pendants, or bespoke jewellery designs, tanzanite continues to be a gemstone that fascinates collectors and jewellery enthusiasts alike.
Tanzanite’s Unique Charm
Tanzanite is renowned for its exceptional blue-violet hues, which shift depending on the angle of the light. This trichroic gemstone reveals different colours—blue, violet, and sometimes even a hint of grey—when viewed from various directions, making it a mesmerizing and dynamic stone.
While heated tanzanite is commonly found in the market with vibrant blue and purple tones, unheated tanzanite retains its unique colour variations, often presenting shades of violet-blue. The rarity of unheated tanzanite makes it a highly coveted gem, though it is not necessarily priced higher than its heated counterpart.
Whether you choose a vivid blue tanzanite pendant with surrounding diamonds or a custom engagement ring featuring this rare gemstone, you’re not just acquiring a piece of jewellery—you’re investing in a gemstone that will captivate for a lifetime. Tanzanite offers a brilliant, spiritual connection that aligns the heart and mind, making it the perfect symbol for your engagement or wedding jewellery.
