Tanzanite is a beautiful gem. Its trade name was first used by Tiffany and Company to denote gem-quality specimens of the mineral zoisite with a blue color. The only deposit of commercial importance in the world is located in northern Tanzania, a country from which the gem also gets its name. Tanzanite is one of very few gems discovered relatively recently, in the 1960s. In the short time since then, it has become the second most popular blue gem after sapphire.
