Tanzanite is a rare gemstone variety of the mineral zoisite. Discovered in 1967 at the foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro at the site that remains its only known source, tanzanite has been described as 'a geological phenomenon'. With its exquisite violet-blue hues and incomparable rarity, tanzanite has become recognised as a mainstream gemstone, competing with the likes of ruby, emerald and sapphire. As testimony to this, tanzanite was rated fourth most popular coloured gemstone in the US in 2002 and in 2003, the American Gem Trade Association named tanzanite a December birthstone, adding to a list previously unchanged since 1912
