Beads of tanzanite in three strands make this piece one of those you simply don’t want to miss.
Look closely at each individual bead ... and at the beads that are its neighbors. Notice the subtle nuances of each. A rich, deep purple-ish blue nests beside a softer, more lilac shade. And is that a whisper of green we see? Oh my ... lavenders and purples, blues and even flashes of red.
This is more than a necklace ... it’s an adventure in the colors of Mother Nature!
Only known to the world since its introduction in 1967, tanzanite is one of the most remarkable 20th gemstone discoveries. When it was brought to the public by Tiffany & Co., their President Henry Platt described its discovery as “the most important blue gemstone find in 2,000 years”. While its discovery was first believed to be a new find of sapphire, tanzanite now stands on its own merits. It is known as a single source gemstone as it is commercially mined in but one small area in the shadows of Tanzania’s Mt. Kilimanjaro. Although its history may be brief, tanzanite’s importance and desirability can be compared to that of more ancient gems such as sapphire and spinel. Tanzanite is additionally known for its pleochroism, when three distinct colors are visible as a gemstone or crystal is viewed from different angles. Due to this property, lapidaries can facet crystals ranging in color from blue-violet to violet-blue and their decision is typically based on how much of the rough crystal’s weight they want to retain. As mining operations have narrowed in recent times, tanzanite’s future remains in question and supplies have dwindled as the Tanzanian government has intervened in mining operations. Said to be a thousand times rarer than diamond, tanzanite is unquestionably one of the world’s most sought-after and desirable gems. We invite you to indulge yourself today with luxurious, beautiful tanzanite!- Product Type
