TANZANITE: CREATED BY NATURE.

The formation of tanzanite is probably due to a rare coincidence that occurred around 585 million years ago in this East African region and led to chromium and vanadium being able to penetrate into intercalation spaces of the transparent zoisite. Even though the cause of the strong blue colouration of this variety is still a mystery, vanadium is likely to have played an important role.
