Transparent and mystical, tanzanite has mesmerizing blue violet shades--different colors show when the gemstone is viewed from different directions. One direction shows blue, another purple, and a third bronze, giving subtle depth to the shades. (This happens because tanzanite is trichroic. Its crystals have the property of transmitting light in three different directions.) More delicate than other gemstones, tanzanite is usually heated to intensify its blue violet hue. Named for its country of origin, the gemstone is found only in the wide plane mountains near Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, Africa. Legend has it that Masai herdsmen happened to see blue crystals sparkling in the sun after a lightening bolt exposed the gemstone. This elegant tanzanite and diamond bracelet wears wonderfully with bold or subtle colors.
