Tanzanite is the purple, violet, and blue variety of zoisite. The only commercial source of the stone is Tanzania and is considered a National Treasure by the Tanzanian government. The future of tanzanite is unclear since the world’s production only comes from an area that is barely 6 kilometers long and 2 kilometers wide. Tanzanite became so popular by 2002.
If your birthday is in December, your birthstone is tanzanite: a rare and new addition to the gemstone world.
While millions of years in the making, tanzanite jewelry is relatively new to the gemstone-loving world.
