Which zodiac signs are associated with tanzanite?

Is tanzanite a precious or semi-precious gemstone?
Tanzanite is traditionally classified as a semi-precious gemstone. Despite this historic classification, it is considered one of the world's rarest gemstones due to its limited geographic origin and exceptional colour.
How hard is tanzanite?
Tanzanite has a Mohs hardness of 6 to 7. While it is suitable for jewellery, it should be treated with more care than harder gemstones, particularly when worn in rings.
Is tanzanite a zoisite?
Yes. Tanzanite is the blue to violet variety of the mineral zoisite. Its distinctive colour is created by trace amounts of vanadium and is enhanced by the gemstone's unique crystal structure.
Why is tanzanite so rare?
Tanzanite is found naturally in only one small area of northern Tanzania, near Mount Kilimanjaro. This single known source makes it significantly rarer than many other gemstones and contributes to its desirability.
Does tanzanite change colour?
Yes. Tanzanite is pleochroic, meaning it can display different shades of blue, violet and purple depending on the viewing angle and lighting conditions. This unique optical characteristic is one of the features that makes genuine tanzanite so distinctive.
Is tanzanite jewellery hypoallergenic?
Many of our tanzanite jewellery designs are crafted from high-quality 925 sterling silver, which is generally suitable for sensitive skin. Individual product pages include full material information to help you choose the option that's right for you.
