Jewellery

Tanzanite is a zoisite mineral that is fairly new to the jewellery market. It was discovered in the 1960’s in Africa. Tanzanite is now a popular blue/purple gemstone in America and has even been placed in the same category as ruby, sapphire, emerald and opal in some markets. Its tremendous popularity, along with hand mining limitations, flooding, and government challenges, has created a shortage of this beautiful mineral.
