December Birthstone
8th Anniversary Stone
Tanzanite’s rarity and exotic origin are part of its fascination. This gemstone was unknown until 1967, when Massai herdsmen in eastern Africa noticed blue crystals sparkling in the sun. To date, the world’s only source for the gem remains the hills of northern Tanzania, near Mount Kilimanjaro.
Tanzanite is not for everyday wear, and one should take care when wearing. Avoid exposure to heat and sudden changes in temperature. Avoid contact with chemicals. To clean, gently scrub with a soft toothbrush and a solution of mild dish soap and warm water.
