Tanzanite is a variety of the mineral zoisite. Featuring a blue or purple color it was originally discovered in the Northern Tanzania hills in 1967. Thus, the name tanzanite was the logical choice. The stone is quite popular because of the value when it is cut. It is a very strong stone and will often appear different colors depending upon the process used to make the stone. Tanzanite often appears blue, violet or burgundy.
As it is heated it changes from the natural reddish brown color to the blue associated with the tanzanite stone. One of the most beautiful stones today, the tanzanite will often appear sapphire blue.

Weighing 7.66 carats which includes 1.22 carats of diamonds with a VS clarity, they are surrounded by an 18 karat white gold band.

This ring is AAA quality which means it is of the best quality tanzanite. The brilliant round cut means it has less than 32 facets on the upper part and less than 24 facets on the lower part. This tanzanite ring will sparkle in the lowest light available with a brilliance that will surprise you.
The offset of the diamonds on this 7.66 tanzanite and diamond ring are very white and bright. The near colorless diamonds are not as expensive but it is not really possible to see the difference between these and the higher color grades. The diamond is a perfect accent to this ring as diamonds have a hardness of 10 which is the hardest of all the gems. What this does is to make the ring hold up to everyday use. However, tanzanite is affected by outside stimuli such as the temperature. It can crack and where the fracture is there may an uneven surface. A jeweler may want to remove the stone from the ring before trying to fix it because it could fuse the tanzanite. Depending upon the cut, the tanzanite will either appear sapphire blue or it will have a slight amethyst shade. In the case of this ring, the stone looks more blue than amethyst.
