Tanzanite

Tanzanite is a stunning and relatively modern addition to the December birthstone family, discovered in the 1960s near the base of Tanzania's iconic Mount Kilimanjaro. This rare and exotic gemstone is celebrated for its captivating hues, which range from deep purple to violet and rich blue. Among these, the vibrant blue tones are the most highly prized and sought after, especially in larger stones that showcase richer and more vivid colors.

With a hardness of 6-7 on the Mohs scale, tanzanite is a durable gemstone but requires some care to maintain its beauty. It’s an excellent choice for earrings and pendants, where the stone is less likely to encounter scratches or impacts. For those who love tanzanite rings or bracelets, extra care is recommended to protect the gem’s surface.

Tanzanite’s mesmerizing beauty and unique origin make it a perfect gift for anyone who appreciates rare and unforgettable gemstones.
