When tanzanite debuted in 1967, it was a sensation. Unlike those other stones, which are mined all over the world, Tanzanite can be found in only one place on Earth: in the remote Merelani Hills in the shadow of Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, Africa. In recent years, top-quality Tanzanite gems have fetched higher prices at auction than rubies, emeralds or even diamonds! What makes so irresistible to jewelers and gem experts? Part of its appeal is its beautiful violet blue color. Tanzanite is also trichroic which means that three different colors are visible when the stone is viewed from different angles. Origin story from Stauer Ad: "Lightning storms at majestic Mount Kilimanjaro are infrequent, but when they strike, they hit with such a ferocity that the results can be astounding. Without the fury of lightning, we wouldn't have stunning violet-blue Tanzanite, a gemstone 1,000 times more rare than diamonds. "In 1967, a barrage of lightning exploded across Kilimanjaro's landscape and scorched the Earth. The heat was so intense that it changed the very nature of rock under the surface.
