Welcome to VENUS TEARS. Today, we are going to do an introduction to Tanzanite, a rare gemstone that is worth every penny.
Tanzanite is a violet-blue colored gemstone of the Zoisite mineral family, found only in Tanzania. It exhibits a unique phenomenon called Pleochroism in which Tanzanite displays different colors (blue, violet, and purple) when viewed from different angles. This gemstone is highly popular in the jewelry segment and is also worn as December Birthstone.

Tanzanite is becoming rarer day by the day, as the yield from the mines is gradually decreasing. It is obvious that the supply is diminishing daily, and no-one is sure exactly how long it will last. In 2013, independent geologists assessed the largest tanzanite mine, Tanzanite One, as having only 30 years left. The smaller mines in the area remain unmeasured. Many believe that when tanzanite supplies are exhausted, the stone will become a historic “heritage” stone, sought after by collectors across the globe.
