Tanzanite is a blue-violet variety of the mineral zoisite, prized for its vibrant colors and rarity. It's primarily found in Tanzania, near Mount Kilimanjaro, making it a thousand times rarer than diamonds. Tanzanite exhibits pleochroism, meaning it can display different colors depending on the viewing angle, often showcasing shades of blue, violet, and even hints of brown.

Key Characteristics:

• Color: Primarily blue to violet, with variations from light blue to deep indigo and even reddish-violet.

• Rarity: Found only in a small area of Tanzania, making it significantly rarer than diamonds.

• Pleochroism: Displays different colors when viewed from different angles, influencing how it's cut to enhance desirable hues.

• Metaphysical Properties: Believed to enhance intuition, promote transformation, and connect with higher consciousness.

• Mining Location: Merelani Hills in Tanzania are the only known commercial source.

• Historical Significance: Named by Tiffany & Co. after Tanzania in 1967.

• Hardness: Measures 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs scale of hardness, making it relatively softer than some other gemstones like sapphire.
