Interesting Facts About Tanzanites.....
Tanzanite is a relatively new stone and was only discovered in 1967 in Northern Tanzania. Derived from the mineral zoisite, it starts off a reddish brown colour and only becomes the extraordinary blue/purple colour it is known for after heating at 600 °C. It is linked to the month of December and the 24th wedding anniversary.
There is only currently one main source and that is the East African state of Tanzania from where it gets its name. Originally referred to by the mineral it is formed from, zoisite, it was changed to tanzanite after the famous New York jewellers, Tiffanys, felt the word sounded too much like the English word "suicide". They then went on to launch a massive advertising campaign for the tanzanite which is part of the reason it has gone on to be recognised as of the most desired gemstones in the world.
