(1.) This gemstone was given the name "Tanzanite" because the sole known Tanzanite deposit is found in northern Tanzania, close to Mount Kilimanjaro. This name was first given by Tiffany and Company to a blue-colored zoisite mineral variation.
(2.) Due to their international marketing efforts, Tanzanite semi-precious stone became one of the most sought-after gemstones because of its vibrant colours, possibility for huge cut stones, and exceptional clarity. Since its discovery, tanzanite has become the second-most popular blue gemstone after sapphire, and in 2002 it was designated as the birthstone for the month of December.
(3.) A birthstone for December babies, tanzanite is also thought to have positive effects on Gemini, Libra, and Sagittarius horoscope signs.
(4.) Because the Throat, Crown, and Third-Eye Chakras are linked to the Tanzanite gemstone, it can promote equilibrium in one's life.
(5.) The stunning gemstone with a bright blue tint is a 24th anniversary gem that bestows truth, dignity, and knowledge.
