If you are looking for a unique, one of a kind, exquisite gift for the woman that you have loved for 20 years, what better way to celebrate your coming anniversary than with a gem that Times magazine exclaims is the “new stone for romance“? The name of this rare gem is the Tanzanite and it is only found in Tanzania. With only an estimated 15 year supply left of this incredible and rare gem, it is a piece of jewelry destined to become a family heirloom.

“The blueish-purple stone with some flashes of red is found only in one place in the world — Tanzania in east Africa. It was discovered in 1967 and introduced to the U.S. market two years later by Tiffany & Co. According to www.gemstone.org, the Web site for the International Colored Gemstone Association, tanzanite is a blue variety of the gemstone zoisite. But Tiffany’s executives didn’t like the name zoisite, so they suggested tanzanite, after where it was found, and a sensation was born.

This year’s Time magazine fashion supplement touts it as the new stone for romance. The article quotes geologists estimating there’s only a 15-year supply left at the only mining site, so you better hurry to get yours.”
