Among the rarest gemstones on earth, Tanzanite exists in only one place — the foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro — making every specimen a genuinely finite treasure. This 1.92-carat oval exemplifies the stone’s celebrated chromatic depth, its blue shifting and deepening with the light in a way that no other gem quite replicates. Cut to a refined 7.5 × 5.6 mm oval, it carries the quiet authority of a collector’s piece and the luminous presence of a signature jewel.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Tanzanite so rare, and why is this particular stone a worthwhile acquisition?
Tanzanite is found exclusively in a narrow belt of land near Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, making it geographically unique among precious gemstones — estimated to be at least a thousand times rarer than diamond. This 1.92-carat oval, with its rich blue colour and well-proportioned 7.5 × 5.6 mm cut, represents exactly the kind of specimen that serious collectors and discerning jewellery lovers seek: a stone of meaningful size, elegant form, and inherent scarcity.
What jewellery settings work best for this oval Tanzanite?
The oval shape is one of the most versatile and flattering cuts in fine jewellery, lending itself beautifully to rings, pendants, earrings, and bracelets. White gold and platinum tend to amplify Tanzanite’s cool blue tones, while yellow gold creates a striking contrast that warms the stone’s depth. Given the gem’s Mohs hardness of 6 to 7, protective settings such as bezels or halo mountings are worth considering, particularly for pieces worn daily.
How should I care for a Tanzanite gemstone?
With a Mohs hardness of 6 to 7, Tanzanite is durable for jewellery wear but benefits from thoughtful handling. It is best cleaned with warm water and a mild soap using a soft cloth or brush, and kept away from ultrasonic cleaners, steam, and sudden temperature changes. We recommend storing Tanzanite jewellery separately from harder gemstones to prevent surface scratching, and removing pieces before any strenuous physical activity.
