Tanzanite Care and Treatments
| Tanzanite may be blue, honey, purple or slate gray. Tanzanite has a hardness rating of 6.5. Tanzanite is often heat treated to improve its color and clarity. After heating the honey will bring out the blue, therefore the more brownish the stone before heating the greater will be its blue/Lilac color after heat treatment. |
| Tanzanite can easily be scratched or chipped. Clean your
Tanzanite with warm, soapy water and a soft bristle brush. Avoid using ultrasonic
cleaning. Tanzanite was found in Tanzania in 1967. Tiffany & Co. of New York named this gemstone and introduced it to the world in 1969. It is one of the newest, most fascinating gemstones on the market today. |
