Tanzanite is a violet-blue colored gemstone of the Zoisite mineral family, found only in Tanzania. It exhibits a unique phenomenon called Pleochroism in which Tanzanite displays different color (blue, violet and purple) when viewed from different angles.

Tanzanite was formed around 585 million years ago during the mid-Ediacaran Period by massive plate tectonic activity and intense heat in the area that would later become Mount Kilimanjaro. The mineral is located in a relatively complex geological environment. Deposits are typically found in the "hinge" of isoclinal folds.

Tanzanite forms as a brownish crystal and is trichroic, which means it shows three colors – brown, blue and violet – concurrently. Heating, either underground naturally by metamorphic processes, or artificially, removes the brown or burgundy color component to produce a stronger violet-blue color and makes the stone "dichroic", which means it only reflects blue and violet.[27] Rarely, gem-quality retailer tanzanite will heat to a green primary hue, almost always accompanied by a blue or violet secondary hue. These green tanzanite have some meaningful value in the collector market, but are seldom of interest to commercial buyers.
