Tanzanite

December’s birthstone, Tanzanite is one of the world’s most recently discovered gemstones. This beautiful blue-violet gemstone was found in the foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro in the Arusha region of Tanzania in 1967, which remains the only source, and was named after its country of origin by world-renowned jewellers Tiffany & Co, who first brought it to the market.
