Tanzanite History
Tanzanite, a relative newcomer to the market, may lack in rich gem legend and lore, but it has rapidly won the public's favor since its discovery some 30 years ago.
No recent gemstone discovery has had more of an impact on the world gemstone market than tanzanite.
Portuguese prospector Manuel d'Souza discovered this gem in Tanzania in 1967 while searching for sapphire.
Tanzanite was named after its country of origin by Henry Platt, vice president of Tiffany & Co. in New York, one of the world's most influential jewelers who began an aggressive marketing campaign to introduce tanzanite to the public in the 1980s.
Not history anymore, now in 2005, we TanzaniteJewelryDesigns.com supplies some of the best cut Tanzanite in the country. With our custom designers, we can turn your one-of-a-kind Tanzanite into a one-of-a-kind design.
