Tanzanite is a beautiful blue-violet precious gemstone. Tanzanite was discovered in 1967, and it is found only in the African country of Tanzania. Because of the beauty of the stone and its scarcity, it is one of the world’s few precious gemstones. (The precious gemstones are diamond, ruby, emerald, sapphire, and tanzanite.)
Tanzanite is the blue gemstone variety of the mineral zoisite. Zoisite is a calcium aluminum silicate with a hardness of 6.5-7 on Moh’s scale. Most tanzanite has a yellowish-brown tinge to it, which is removed by heating the gemstone. Large tanzanite crystals are uncommon.
From neatstuff.net: “Tanzanites frequency aids one in sharing spiritual information and knowledge from heart-centered perspective. It is excellent for counselors or others who are in the position of needing to intellectually interpret emotional experiences. It can assist empathic people in forming interpretations of the emotionally based information they receive intuitively. Tanzanite can be used to help calm the overactive mind and can be used to help an overactive thyroid or adrenals.”
