How much do you know about December Birthstone – Tanzanite

One of the most popular blue gemstones - Tanzanite a.k.a. December Birthstone has quite an interesting story to it.

Tanzanite is relatively a young member of the gemstone family. While most of the gems that we know of have been known for some thousands of years, tanzanites were only found in the year 1967, This even led many specialists to refer to this stone as the ‘gemstone of 20th Century’. The gem was discovered by a bunch of Masai shepherds in the Merelani Hills near Arusha in the east African state of Tanzania. Tanzania apparently is also the only place in the whole world where these gems are found. And, thus the famous New York Jewelers Tiffanys, as a tribute to its origin named the gemstone ‘Tanzanite’.

Till date Tanzania remains the only place where this gem is mined, this also makes Tanzanite a highly rare gemstone; even rarer  than diamonds. Their rarity, beauty and inimitable hue makes these gemstone highly coveted and also one of the most prized ones. What is very intriguing about Tanzanite is that – in their natural form they do not occur as the beautiful violet blued gems that we know them as, but rather as not so attractive dark blue crystals. It is upon heating that the gems get their mystifying color. And perhaps this could be a reason why these gems were discovered only recently.

Largest Tanzanite

World’s largest cut or faceted tanzanite is a huge 737.81 carats rock. Another famous tanzanite is 242 carats which is set in Queen of Kilimanjaro’s Tiara.

December Birthstone – Tanzanite

It was only in the year 2002 when American Gemstone Trade Association introduced this gem as the birthstone of December.It is even believed that gemstone increases alertness and cures many skin diseases.

Birthstone Jewelry – Does it really work?

I was somewhere reading about Birthstone Jewelry and that it has become quite popular concept these days. So many people these days are gifting birthstone jewelry to their friends and family on special occasions.

Birthstone Jewelry, it said makes a great personalized gift

So I decided to research a bit on Birthstones. I always thought that birthstones and birthstone jewelry were relatively new concept, more like a marketing strategy. But then I found that their birthstones and their history actually go more than few century back.

For thousands of years birthstones have been coveted for their influential powers and the ability to bless and protect its wearer. However, various cultures had a different list of birthstones and they also had a different ways of defining a birthstone.

Finally in the year 1912, Jewelers of America created a standard list of birthstones that they named as the list of  Modern birthstones. And, that is how the current birthstones list that we hear about often came into existence.

 

Personally, I don’t know which stand to take. How much do these birthstones actually influence its wearer. I have heard of many stories from people where they said that since they started wearing their birthstone, they life has changed and that too for good.

I have never tried it myself  so can’t really say. But then come to think of it again, till the time you feel even a bit that the birthstone will have positive affect on your life. Then you should go for it. After all, isn’t it just the way you look at it.

What is your take on it? Do you think Birthstone Jewelry actually works?
