Unlike most stones that have been known for centuries, Tanzanite is a relatively new gemstone that was only just discovered in 1967. The Masai tribesmen of Tanzania believed the stone had been hit by lightning due to it's beautiful deep blue color which is usually tinged with a hint of purple surrounding the center. This new mineral was named Tanzanite with the help of Tiffany’s and Co. and from that point on it became a favorite of the jewelry marketplace.
Tanzanite is mined from only one place in the world, the mines of North Tanzania and it is extremely popular in the world’s gemstone marketplace due to its beautiful color, which has made it a favorite around the world. Because Tanzanite is rare and found in one place only, it can command high gemstone prices that sometimes even rival that of the diamond!
Tanzanite is marketed as the gemstone to give to a mother with a new born child. The Masai of Africa believe that this stone brings life, making it a great gemstone for new mothers.
