Tanzanite – Guide of Healing Crystals

Tanzanite enhances healing at all levels, as well as protecting those who are doing the healing.

Tanzanite Meanings and occurence

Tanzanite is truly an exceptional gemstone because it is found in only one place in the world: Tanzania, East Africa, at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro.

Tanzanite consists of calcium aluminum silicate as a blue variety of the gemstone zoisite and has a hardness between 6.5 and 7 on the Mohs scale. Therefore, it is very sensitive and should not come into contact with acid, nor should it be cleaned in an ultrasonic device. The sensitive stone already causes the gemstone cutter some headaches, because due to its structure, the cleavage is very pronounced. Nevertheless, the gemstone is cut into almost all possible shapes and therefore literally presents itself with a wealth of facets that is exemplary.

The blue, surrounded by a light touch of purple, is probably the most sought-after color of tanzanite. This blue ranges from pale violet-blue to imposing ultramarine. The tanzanite effect is best seen in large stones – usually of more than ten carats. Then you can also clearly see the multicolor effect that results when you change the angle of view.

This makes the tanzanite particularly unique. It is one of the few known gemstones that have a multidimensional color. That is, if you look at it from three different directions, you will see three different colors. This phenomenon is called trichroic.

Effects of Tanzanite

It is one of the most valuable of all metaphysical crystals for spiritual exploration, bringing together all aspects of communication and psychic power.
