Tanzanite is an exotic, vivid blue, kissed by purple hues. Legend has it that Tanzanite was first discovered when some brown gemstone crystals lying on the dry earth were caught in a fire set by lightning that swept through the grass-covered hills. The Masai herders driving cattle in the area noticed the beautiful blue color and picked the crystals up, becoming the first tanzanite collectors. Tanzanite is mined only in Tanzania at the feet of the majestic Mount Kilimanjaro. Rarely pure blue, tanzanite almost always displays its signature overtone of purple.
