Tanzanite History
Ali Juoyawatu founded the first Tanzanite crystal at the base of Mount Kilimanjaro in 960.Tanzanite soon found its way to America , arriving at the New York based Jewelers Tiffany & Co.
Tanzanite‘s blue-purple fire soon took the fashion world by storm and was heralded “the gemstone of the 20th century”. Demand for Tanzanite jewelry grew dramatically as its global appreciation increased, and in 1998 and 1999 Tanzanite was proclaimed the world‘s best selling colored gemstone.
Tanzanite was adopted as one of December’s official birthstone in 2002 , the first time change in the list since 1912. |
