What is Tanzanite?

1 min read
Quick answer: Tanzanite comes from only one mine worldwide. Bluish-violet, rarer than diamond. Once the mine is empty, there will be no more Tanzanite.

Tanzanite is a blue-violet gemstone found in only one mine in the world – at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania. It is rarer than diamond and becomes rarer every year – once the mine is exhausted, it will no longer exist.

What makes tanzanite so valuable?

  • Only one mine worldwide – geologically unique
  • Intense blue-violet with pleochroism (color change depending on viewing angle)
