The Origins of Tanzanite

Tanzanite, discovered in 1967 in Tanzania, is a relatively new but highly cherished gemstone. Named by Tiffany & Co., it was chosen as December’s birthstone for its mesmerising blue-violet hues that symbolise calmness and positive transformation. Its unique formation, occurring in only one place on earth, adds to its exclusivity and allure, making it a perfect representation of the winter month of December.
