(rose gold ring with central Tanzanite)

The absolute protagonist of this ring, very pure in shape, is the precious gem named “The Diamond of the Savannah”.

Tanzania, a country rich in folklore, boasts an ancient history, according to which the local Masai saw lightning come down from the sky and hit the rocks on the ground.

Once the fire was extinguished, the shepherds came back to the area and discovered that what was left were sparkling blue stones – the rare stone we call Tanzanitis.

Tanzanitis was first unearthed in 1967 near Arusha, Tanzania, not far from Mount Kilimanjaro.

Tanzanitis is part of the Zoisite family of minerals. We can find this mineral in nature with many shades and hues such as pink, green, blue and it can also be colorless.

It is a multidimensional colored stone, reflecting vibrant shades of blue and purple.

It is sometimes compared to the Blue Sapphire, but distinguished by its strong pleochroism.

Pleochroism is a physical property that allows the gem to show a different color when seen from different directions.

The bright blue color of Tanzanitis is the most sought after and the one with the highest value.

Tanzanitis is one of the latest rare gemstones discovered and its deposits are expected to run out in the coming decades, giving it incredible collectible value.

Tanzanitis is often referred to as a “One Generation Gem” due to its limited supply. In fact, experts continue to insist that there is only a one in a million chance of being found elsewhere on the planet.
