| No gemstone discovered in East Africa has had more of an impact on the world gemstone market than tanzanite, a velvety blue variety of the mineral zoisite that was found for the first time in 1967 and named after the country of its birth by Tiffany & Co. in New York, who introduced the gemstone to the world market in 1969. Possessing rich purples and blues comparable to the finest sapphire, tanzanite is supremely rare, coming from only one place in the world: the Merelani Hills of Tanzania, in the shadow of Mount Kilimanjaro. | ||||||||||
