Gemography
Tanzanite is truly spectacular! This precious gemstone is only found in one location in the world: Tanzania, Africa. Claimed to be a 1000 times rarer than Diamonds.

Tanzanite is extremely popular due to its trichroic nature, which means that three different colours can be seen when looking at the gem from different angles. In Tanzanite’s case these colours are: blue, pinkish violet and green.

On discovering this beautiful gem in 1967, word of the unearthing reached the celebrated New York Jewellers, Tiffany’s. At that time the great grandson of Louis Tiffany was completely awestruck by the beauty of the gemstone.
