Tanzanite is a rare (as in 1,000x rarer than Diamond!) & vivid blue-violet variety of Zoisite, that is admired for its trichroism - where three different colours appear when looking at the gem from different angles. Discovered in the Merelani Hills at the foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro, Tanzania in 1967, this mineral is still only found in this one location & was given the name Tanzanite by Tiffany & Co in honour of its country of origin. It is the birthstone for December, alongside Zircon, Turquoise, & Blue Topaz, as well as the official gem for a 24th anniversary. With such popularity & rarity, it is estimated that the Tanzanite deposits may deplete in as soon as 30 years.

This mystical gem holds a strong connection to the higher realms, boosting psychic senses, such as clairaudience & clairvoyance, & inviting visions of both the future & the past. Tanzanite is said to open the flow of energy between the Throat & Third-Eye, Crown & Etheric Chakras, making it a powerful companion for healers, counsellors or anyone who speaks aloud the wisdom of the Universe. It can invite clear, authentic & compassionate communication without being overwhelmed by emotion, worries or fears. It is especially helpful for moving through conflicts, arguments or disagreements with ease & authenticity. As a stone of spiritual exploration, Tanzanite can connect you to your inner wisdom & the knowledge hidden within your soul. It facilitates deep & transformative meditation practices as well as unveils areas of personal growth yet to be achieved. With its calming, serene energy, be prepared to fall softly into a higher state of being.

As the birthstone for December, gift to a December-born loved one! Keep nearby during spiritual practices such as divination, meditation or Reiki to invoke a deep connection to higher realms & boost psychic senses. Place in your home to bring serenity & stillness. Hold in your hand when needing to speak clearly & from the soul.
