Velvety violet in color, tanzanite is the new birthstone for December. This luxury gem,
with its unique story of being mined in only one area of Tanzania, is a beautiful showpiece in any setting. Tanzanite also has the added cachet of giving back to the community where it is mined through a variety of beneficiation programs with the TanzaniteOne Foundation, including drilling wells for fresh water, building roads, health centers and schools. It’s a gem that keeps on giving. YOU MUST HAVE JAVASCRIPT ENABLED TO VIEW THE SLIDESHOW
