Tanzanite is a rare blue-violet variety of zoisite found exclusively in the Mererani Hills of Tanzania, formed through regional metamorphism in calcium-rich rocks. It displays stunning pleochroism, showing shifting hues of blue, purple, and violet depending on the light, with a brilliant vitreous lustre. In folklore, Tanzanite symbolises transformation and enlightenment. Metaphysically, it is believed to enhance intuition, spiritual awareness, and emotional healing. The stone is said to promote calmness, creativity, and a deeper connection to one’s higher self and purpose.
