This round tanzanite carries a distinctive silvery blue-lavender tone, cooler and quieter than the more violet stones in the same size range. Its brilliance is even across the crown, and the pale coloring lets the cut do most of the visual work.
From the Merelani Hills of Tanzania and heat-treated by the standard industry method used throughout the trade. Its refined, cool tone pairs especially well with white gold or platinum settings.
Natural tanzanite, December birthstone, sold loose.

About tanzanite
Tanzanite is the blue to violet variety of the mineral zoisite. At 6 to 7 on the Mohs scale, with perfect cleavage and fair toughness, it is softer and more fragile than sapphire, so it needs gentle handling.
Cleaning
Warm water, a drop of mild dish soap and a soft toothbrush are all you need. Brush behind the stone too, where dust and skin oils collect, then rinse and dry with a soft cloth. Skip ultrasonic and steam cleaners: vibration and sudden temperature changes can start a crack along its cleavage.
Wear and storage
Take it off for sport, gardening or heavy work: a sharp knock can split it. With a hardness below 7 it can be scratched even by quartz, which is found in household dust, so wipe it gently and store it on its own in a soft pouch. It suits pendants and earrings better than an everyday ring.
For your jeweler
This tanzanite is heated, and the color from heating is stable. Tanzanite should be kept away from the torch flame, acid pickle and the ultrasonic bath. Ask for gentle pressure when setting, since a hard push can split it.
