About Us

Tanzanite was made popular by Tiffany's after its discovery in 1967. As a virtual newborn in the world of gemstones, Tanzanite has captured the imagination and the market in the last few years like no other stone. Mostly associated with a purple hue, it gets its name from the place where it was discovered and the only source of the stone.

Fact: There is only one region on earth where Tanzanites have been found, namely Tanzania.
