Chronicles of Tanzanite’s Humble Origin & Pristine Hues
Tanzanite takes pride in its most recent history and rarest of a rarity for being mined only at a single location throughout the globe. It is the blue or purple variety of the mineral zoisite which was discovered in Tanzania in 1967 and was later introduced to the market by Tiffany and Co. with the name “tanzanite”. Rated between 6 to 6.5 on the 10-point Mohs scale of hardness, a tanzanite crystal is more brittle than many of the color gemstones but is still the most desirable variety of blue gemstones after the velvety royal blue sapphires with the advantage of being priced at less than half of what the latter cost.
Quality Parameters To Be Checked
Before you buy natural tanzanite gemstones, you must check for the 4Cs concerning their quality and affordability value which is surely going to affect your expenditure plan on this one of its kind of blue gemstone. Let us understand each one of these 4Cs with respect to brilliant tanzanites:
Color
Favored for its trichroic property, tanzanite crystal can exhibit three different hues of blue color palette, primarily consisting of blue, violet, and purple shades when placed under different light sources or observed from different angles. The original natural reserves have brownish hues that are often treated under extremely high temperatures for them to come up with extraordinary shades of blue. While the brilliant blue shade is the rarest, a pair of huge tanzanite teardrops dangling from your earlobes is sure to bestow you with the brightest of shine and reflection under the sizzling sunshine and dazzling moonlight.
Clarity
Tanzanites are known for their high clarity in relation to several other color gemstones, from sapphire to tourmaline. Tanzanite’s transparency leaves no room for inclusions to get undetected by the naked eye, hence even the slightest of impurities in the crystal could hugely impact the price of the stone. This also means that only the eye-clean stones are valued the highest in terms of clarity so if you are to invest in a pair of tanzanite earrings, then you must go either for an eye clean or a slightly included category of stones to get the best out of this gemstone.
Cut
While shopping for tanzanites, what is equally essential for you to look for is the most appropriate cut that would give maximum brilliance to your mesmerizing piece of jewelry. An exceptionally faceted pair of trillion-cut tanzanite earrings are recommended to dazzle every formal occasion with their extraordinary brilliance and unparalleled elegance.
Carat Weight
Since it’s common to have differences in the carat weight of two identical tanzanite stones, it is often advised to get a certificate specifying the actual carat weight of the gem at the time of purchase. Imagine what a waste it would be of your financial resources if you end up paying more and getting less of this gem of a stone studded in your tanzanite stud earrings.
