Tanzanite is an extraordinary
gemstone. It occurs in only one place worldwide.
Its blue, surrounded by a fine hint of purple, is
a wonderful colour. Thanks to its unusual aura and
the help of the New York jeweller's Tiffany, it
has rapidly become one of the most coveted
gemstones in the world.
It is named after the East African state of
Tanzania, the only place in the world where it has
been found. Africa? Does anyone think of gemstones
when they hear that name? Well they should,
because Africa is a continent which provides the
world with a multitude of truly magnificent
gemstones, like tanzanite for example. On its
discovery in 1967, it was enthusiastically
celebrated by the specialists |

as
the 'gemstone of the 20th century'. They held
their breath in excitement as they caught sight of
the first deep-blue crystals which had been found
in the Merelani Hills near Arusha in the north of
Tanzania. Millions of years ago, metamorphic
schists, gneisses and quartzites formed
impressive, flat-topped inselbergs on a vast plain
in the shadow of Kilimanjaro. The precious
crystals grew in deposits on the inside of these
unusual elevations. For a long, long time they
were hidden from the eye of Man, until one day
some passing Masai shepherds noticed some
sparkling crystals lying in the sun and took them
along with them. |
