The Beauty of Tanzanite:

Displaying an aurora of stunning blues and violets, Tanzanite is an official December birthstone.

A key ingredient in Tanzanite’s success is that it exhibits multiple shades of blue due to a phenomenon called pleochroism, where different colours are seen in different directions of the gemstone. Tanzanite is extremely light sensitive, frequently exhibiting a colour shift from more bluish hues under daylight, to pinkish violets under incandescent lighting. While the best examples show an intense blue under any light, most of the time, you can actually see both colours simultaneously.

Tanzanite stones are only mined in one particular area of East Africa. There is a limited supply, and this is expected to run out in the next 10 to 20 years.
