Tanzanite: The World’s Rarest Gemstone
January 21, 2021
Since the gorgeously violet-blue gemstone tanzanite was first discovered in the 1960s, it has become a popular stone for various types of jewelry, from rings and pendants to earrings and brooches. There’s no doubt that this gemstone has become increasingly popular in recent years, but despite that, it’s actually the rarest gemstone on the planet. Indeed, in a few decades, there could be no more tanzanite left to mine. Given its scarce supply, you might assume that this stone sells at a high premium, but even though it’s exceptionally rare, it still sells for far less than diamonds.
