December Birthstone (Tanzanite Gemstone) - Earrings & Necklaces

Tanzanite is the trade name for a type of blue zoisite. While zoisite comes in a variety of colours, including colourless, grey, yellow, brown, pink, and green, tanzanite specifically refers to zoisite crystals within the blue and violet range.

The gem is named for its limited range: natural tanzanite gemstone is only found in northern Tanzania in an eight-square-mile area within the Merelani Hills, near Mount Kilimanjaro.

Another unique feature of the gemstone is that it is pleochroic, appearing in different colours depending on the lighting conditions and angle it is viewed. For example, some tanzanite crystals may appear blue when viewed from one direction and violet in another.

Tanzanite is a December birthstone, along with zircon gemstone and turquoise gemstone. Of the three, it is considered to be the rarest and most sought-after. Tanzanite has a range of meanings including stability, wisdom, and truth. Tanzanite is also associated with the zodiac sign Sagittarius, enhancing their natural curiosity and optimism.

Yes, Tanzanite is a popular choice for engagement rings due to its unique colour and rarity, but it requires careful handling. It is not as hard as diamonds and may be prone to scratching or breakage.

Choosing a setting designed to protect the stone from impact and abrasion can reduce the chances of breakage. Likewise, it is usually best to avoid wearing the ring during physical activities where there is a high chance of breakage.
