tanzanite earrings

Tanzanite earrings are rare and very sought-after, as these unique gemstones have the ability to change colour depending on their orientation and the lighting conditions. Tanzanite can only be found in one location globally: The Merelani Hills in East Africa. The stone was discovered in 1960, and has since then gained immense popularity. Unlike many other earring gemstones, tanzanite is trichroic. This means that it can look blue, violet, or burgundy, depending on the angle jewellers usually orient their facets to highlight these colours even more. One thing to keep in mind is that tanzanite is relatively softer compared to other stones 6.5 to 7 Mohs, so your earrings will be slightly more susceptible to scratches. However, this scarce and coveted stone is worth the risk! Tanzanite doesn’t have an extensive history of meaning, however some people believe it can aid with spiritual awakening and communication. The gemstone’s unique colour-changing properties also make it a good symbolic choice for transformation and change. The blue and violet hues of tanzanite are thought to transmit harmony and balance.
