This December birthstone is primarily sourced in the Merelani Hills in Tanzania. It was eventually named tanzanite in honour of its country of origin. Tanzanite is often described as “velvety”, mostly because of its deep and saturated colour, which ranges from a pure rich blue to violet, with the blue considered most valuable. That famous Jewellery brand with the trademark blue believed that tanzanite had international appeal and became its main distributor. With its vivid colours, high clarity and potential for large cut stones, tanzanite quickly became a sensation. Today, it is not only a December birthstone, but it is also the gem for the 24th wedding anniversary.
See my Gemstone Collection for more dazzling jewels. This collection is hand drawn with Apple Pencil in vector format which means it's infinitely scaleable. I can print it in any size from postcard to billboard, and on fine art paper, canvas or glossy acrylic. The art can be the original gem, or a seamless pattern on prints, fabrics and wallpapers. Just ask and I'll find the best for your requirements!
