Tanzanite is a precious stone that has recently entered the market. Tiffany & Co was the first company to, thanks to a great marketing campaign, introduce it to the international market.

The most important gemological variety of Zoisite is the Tanzanite. It owes this name to its place of origin, Tanzania, still the place of the only deposits found.

Because it is only mined in a particular area of ​​Tanzania, deposits are likely to be depleted within a few decades. 

The Tanzanite is usually a violet color with brown tones. To avoid these brownish tones, the Tanzanite is generally treated, achieving much more intense blue-violet colors.

We took several photos:
We take photos with daylight (no lightbox and no extra lighting at all).
And we take photos and videos on mirrors in a light box with extra lighting (this kind of photos clearly show the quality of the cut and the clarity of the gem).
