Tanzanite Introduction
Tanzanite, also known as zoisite (saualpite, Zoisite) [1], is a silicate mineral. It was used as a decorative material in the early days and has been gaining prominence in the gemstone industry since the discovery of transparent blue-violet crystals in Tanzania in 1967. Named Tanzanite in honor of the then newly formed Republic of Tanzania, it is also known abroad as Tanzanite. Tanzanite was first mistaken for peridot and then for blueschist. It was finally correctly named by a Tanzanian geologist named LanMcCloud. It is an emerging gemstone recognized worldwide. First discovered in 1967 in the Arusha region at the foot of the equatorial snow-capped mountains, it was introduced to the international jewelry market by Tiffany & Co. in 1969.
