About Tanzanite

Why Buy Tanzanite Gemstones?

Tanzanite is one of the newest gems on the market and was discovered only in 1967 in Tanzania. This lovely gem has been a worldwide success, and demand continues to exceed supply. Tanzanite is a variety of zoisite, which is a member of the epidote group. Colors include blue, purple and green. The most highly coveted color is a deep blue which shows a purple shimmer.

What are some of the properties of Tanzanite Gemstones?

Tanzanite is trichroic and exhibits pronounced pleochroism. The colors respective to the three directions are sapphire-blue, sage green, and purple. Orientation is an important consideration for cutters who need to consider both the yield and the resulting color.

What are good ways to use Tanzanite Gemstones?

Tanzanite is indeed one of the most popular gems, frequently used in gemstone rings, engagement rings - center stones and as tanzanite melee - and tanzanite is very-well suited for all other types of gemstone jewelry, including gemstone earrings, pins, and brooches, as well as in necklaces and fine gemstone pendants.

I ordered my gems off this website called GemSelect, they have a good selection and it's easy to navigate. You can also have the gems professionally certified when you buy them, but they do provide certificates of their own.

Good experience with finding a variety of stones. Due to the vast selection, it is important to be able to search, and I had issues with the site not returning matches when I put in a specific size range. I was eventually able to narrow it down by sorting the items by size, but it was slower than if I could have typed it in. I also wish Gem Select would offer lab created stones (fully disclosed, of course!) so I could get some exotic colors more frequently. Overall, I love browsing and will continue to patronize, but this would put the site as my #1 go to.

I have been browsing stones on GemSelect for a few months. They have such a large selection and I found some stones I had never even hear of before visiting GemSelect! I cannot wait to receive my order and show my gems off!
