Some Mover And Shakers This Christmas: Tanzanite Jewelry
Tanzanite has been a celebrated gemstone amongst high and low. This zoisite mineral of violet shade was discovered in Tanzania itself. It is a mineral variety which comes in crystals flattened in an acicular fashion.
The source is to be Merelani Hills in Arusha, Tanzania.
As the tawny colored crystals lay scattered on the ground, no one could ever identify the actual gem value of the mineral crystal, until late 20th century.
One very fine day as lightening struck those crystals roasting them to an extremely high temperature of 400 degree Celsius. However, the crystals had turned into a never before purple to blue shade.
After that, Tiffany promoted this young gemstone as a new member to the club of prized, precious sparkling valuables. Following suit many other big names have been joining the league of promoting yet selling this gemstone jewelry for all kinds of budget holders.
It’s interesting to note that world’s largest tanzanite present weighs 242 Karats. Named as вЂQueen of Kilimanjaro’ it is actually set in a tiara in Canada.
Normally flawless to eyes, tanzanite is strongly pleochroic, i.e. its shows a property of change in color when changes in light sources come in effect. When tanzanite is exposed to artificial incandescence and normal daylight, there is a difference in color display.
