Found in Tanzania in 1967, Tanzanite has since become a well known and widely distributed gemstone. It has become so popular that in October of 2002 the American Gem Trade Association announced that tanzanite had joined blue topaz and turquoise in the traditional list of birthstones for the month of December. Tanzanite is associated with contentment and understanding while topaz is associated with wisdom, honor, and wealth and turquoise represents new possibilities and happiness. Any of these beautiful blue stones would make a perfect gift this holiday season!
