What is Tanzanite?

Tanzanite was discovered in Tanzania in Africa

Tanzanite was discovered in Tanzania in Africa       in 1967. It is produced at the foot of Kilimanjaro, a world-famous tourist spot near the northern city of Arusha. This is the only place of origin in the world. In 1969, Tiffany named the gemstone Tanzanite in the name of the country of origin and quickly pushed it to the international jewelry market. American women who like to pursue novelty immediately became their buyers.

The largest market for tanzanite is still in North America. 80% of the annual production of tanzanite is sold to the United States, with more than 300 million US dollars, followed by Europe. It is said that Hong Kong also sells in small quantities. This rare gemstone is azure blue, some slightly purple, and some look from different angles or blue or purple or golden. Tanzan Blue looks clear and warm, and some people compare the light-colored tanzan blue to the eyes of the famous movie star Taylor. Because this gem is less hard than red sapphire, some people think it is only a semi-precious stone. But because of this, it is cheaper and easier to process. It can be cut into a variety of shapes, and the volume is large, so the jewelry made is particularly eye-catching, and is very popular among European and American women. In particular, when people learned that the "heart of the sea" worn by the movie star Winslet in the Titanic was tanzan blue, the market price continued to rise. Tanzanite's "Sea of

Hearts" is just a prop in the movie. The true heart of the ocean is the diamond of hope. The composition of chemical elements is completely different.
