Tanzanite is mined from only one place in the world; Tanzania in Africa and is found mostly at the foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro. Tanzanite is a modern Gemstone being only discovered in 1967. Tanzanite requires heat treatment to 600 degrees Celsius to reveal its purple blue colours. The untreated colour of Tanzanite is usually a reddish/greenish brown colour. Tanzanite mining is slowly decreasing and due to this Tanzanite has gained considerable value. Experts opinions are the source of Tanzanite will dry up in years to come. Tanzanite has a hardness of 6.5 on the Mohs scale and is mined solely from Tanzania in Africa.
