About Tanzanite
Tanzanite is the violet-blue to blue-violet variety of the mineral zoisite. It is mined commercially in only one place, the Merelani Hills of Tanzania, which gives the gem its name.
- Birthstone
- December
- Hardness
- 6–7 (Mohs)
- Everyday wear
- Tanzanite has fair to poor toughness and can split if knocked, so it is best in earrings and pendants or worn with care in rings.
- Care
- Clean with warm, soapy water only; ultrasonic and steam cleaners are never recommended. Avoid sudden temperature changes and high heat.
- Meaning and tradition
- Tanzanite was only discovered in 1967 and is the gem for 24th wedding anniversaries. In modern crystal lore, many people associate it with intuition, spiritual awareness and a calm, soothing presence.
Meanings and traditions are beliefs people have held about these stones, not proven effects, and are no substitute for medical advice.
