2.20ct Tanzanite Pear Drop Earrings 9ct Yellow Gold

Tanzanite is the blue to violet to purple variety of the mineral zoisite.Tanzanite is said to be 1000 times rarer than diamonds. This is due to the fact that it is only found in one very small area of the world - The Merelani Hills of Tanzania, which is where it gets its name.Tanzanite can be violetish blue, similar to a sapphire colour, or much more purplish.The gemstone was created millions of years ago by the same tectonic shift that created Mount Kilimanjaro and the Great Rift Valley of Tanzania. This once in a lifetime event makes tanzanite one of the world’s most sought-after gemstones.Tanzanite is relatively new to the coloured stone galaxy, discovered in 1967, while it has been proclaimed the most important gemstone discovery in over 2000 years.
