Tanzanite

The beautiful gemstone tanzanite is the gemstone anniversary gift symbol for the 24th Wedding Anniversary.

Tanzanite is a variety of the mineral zoisite, which is a silicate mineral. It’s most commonly found in Tanzania, but it can also be found in other countries including Afghanistan, Canada, Kenya, Madagascar and Mozambique.

The gemstone was discovered in 1967 by Tiffany & Co., when they purchased several pieces of rough tanzanite from miners in Merelani Hills, Tanzania. Tanzanite was named after Tanzania’s main export port, Dar es Salaam by Tiffany & Co.’s founder Charles Lewis Tiffany Jr. The company then went on to develop and market this new stone as a fine jewellery gemstone.
