Tanzanite is a relative new comer to the gem world as it was just discovered in 1967. The mineral is called zoisite but the gem was named tanzanite after Tanzania where it was discovered. To date it has not been found anywhere else on earth. Tanzanite color varies from an intense blue to a blue-purple and deeper tones occur more readily in larger stones. Because of its moderate durability, care should be taken when wearing tanzanite, especially in a ring.
