What’s so special about the Tanzanite?
There are three distinct features that make a gem precious – it’s rarity, beauty, and durability.Due to its finite availability and the unique shimmering blue-violet shades of the stone, the Tanzanite ticks the first two boxes in a heartbeat. This treasure has been classed as a trichroic gem as it radiates three exquisite colours – blue, violet, and burgundy – when in rough form. However, what truly makes it stand out from the rest is the fact that each colour is produced by a different colour-giving element in the gemstone — a phenomena never seen before in a natural formation. As for its durability, the Tanzanites fall between 6.5 to 7 out of 10 on the MOH scale of hardness. With their ability to scratch glass, it places them just three points below diamonds!
