Tanzanite

The Gem of Transformation and Twilight

Tanzanite is a gemstone unlike any other — a rare gift from the foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro, found in only one place on Earth.
Discovered in 1967, it quickly became one of the world’s most sought-after gems for its enchanting violet-blue hues and its captivating optical magic.

What makes Tanzanite truly unique is its trichroism — the ability to show three distinct colours depending on the viewing angle: blue, violet, and a hint of burgundy. This natural phenomenon gives each gem a shifting depth and personality, almost as if it were alive.

As a gemcutter and gemmologist, I approach Tanzanite with both artistry and precision. Its perfect cleavage and crystal orientation require careful handling — every facet must be aligned to reveal the richest blend of blue and violet light while maintaining the stone’s natural integrity.
