December Tanzanite

7 July 2025 • 3 min read

One of the most beautiful and unusual birthstones, Tanzanite’s history is as deep as its color.

Deep violet-blue in hue and spiritual in depth, Tanzanite is the new December birthstone, symbolizing clear purpose, transformation, and understated opulence.

Rarer than diamonds and found only at one location on the globe, Tanzanite is a gem for those who seek meaning, rarity, and understated luxury.

Tanzanite is powerfully connected to inner vision, spiritual awakening, and psychic activation.

Said to activate both the third eye and throat chakras, it enhances intuition, discernment, and truthfulness of expression.

In metaphysical practice, Tanzanite is generally recommended for those undergoing personal transformation, spiritual evolution, or creative awakenings.

Its energy is soothing yet uplifting, said to calm emotional stress while supporting clarity and alignment.

For people born in December or embarking on a new life cycle, Tanzanite offers the symbolic reminder to trust one’s own wisdom and embrace the way ahead.

Tanzanite’s unique color, ranging from intense sapphire blue to vivid violet, is ideal for luxury statement jewelry and modern heirlooms.

We love to showcase Tanzanite’s rich loveliness with sophisticated understated design that lets the stone take center stage.

It’s especially stunning when: Framed by white diamonds in a halo or three-stone setting, Set in platinum or white gold, that enhances its icy undertones, Paired with tapered baguette or trapezoid side stones to give it architectural appeal.

As an add-on engagement ring, a milestone necklace, or a signature cocktail ring, Tanzanite offers presence, personality, and polish.

Only discovered in 1967, Tanzanite is mined exclusively in a small area near Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania making it a single-source gemstone and one of the most limited in supply.

Experts estimate the mine could be exhausted within a generation, making Tanzanite even more rare and valuable as an investment in the long term.

The finest Tanzanites possess high saturation, high transparency, and a captivating pleochroism for example, they show multiple colours according to the viewing angle (usually violet, blue, and burgundy).

These high-quality stones are the surest option for collectors, and for the customers looking for truly something unique and out of the ordinary.
