Tanzanite is a rare gemstone known for its captivating blue-violet color. Found exclusively in the Merelani Hills near Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, it is a variety of the mineral zoisite. Tanzanite stands out for its unique ability to display different colors when viewed from various angles, a property known as pleochroism. This makes it especially appealing for jewelry, as it can appear blue, violet, or burgundy depending on the lighting and the gem's orientation. Since its discovery in 1967, tanzanite has become highly prized for its rarity and striking beauty.
