2. Although Tanzanite is a vivid blue gemstone which looks a lot like sapphire, aesthetically, it has an advantage over coveted sapphire. Tanzanite's strong trichoism properties makes this a very interesting gemstone. From some angles, it appears blue. From other angles, it appears purple or brownish yellow. The most prized tanzanite stones have a lilac hue overlaying the beautiful blue shade.

4. Tanzanite was made popular by Tiffany and Company. In fact, Henry Platt of the New York Jeweler, Tiffany gave Tanzanite its name. If you love Tiffany jewelry, tanzanite is a gemstone to get.
5. Tanzanite is a blue version of zoisite. It is not very hard, being 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs scale (diamonds are a 10 on the Mohs scale). Hence, tanzanite should be handled with care. Do not put clean it in an ultrasonic bath. Do not let it come into contact with acids.
6. Tanzanite has an beautiful aura of mystery, with its deep blue color and purplish (lilac to violet) hues that give it a mysterious aura. Both are very cool colors and look fabulous with black and silver and other cool shades. Unfortunately, the brownish yellow hue, the third color in the mix clashes with the other two and is considered undesirable. However that brownish shade can be made to disappear by heating the stone.
