Description

Lovely lavender-purple tanzanite is actually a blue zoisite that was renamed by jewelry store Tiffany & Co. as a tribute to where it was first discovered (Tanzania). Tanzanite has become a popular alternate birthstone for December. The semiprecious gemstone closely resembles, and is often confused with, sapphire and iolite. Almost all tanzanites on the market have been heat-treated to produce a deeper color (the rough is often brownish yellow). The gemstone displays pronounced pleochroism (different colors at different angles).
Handle tanzanite beads with care: Do not clean them in an ultrasonic machine or steamer; high temperatures and quick temperature changes can damage them. Tanzanite is believed to help wearers slow down, take it easy, and awaken their hearts and minds. Physically, it is said to help stress-related illnesses, especially high blood pressure. Tanzanite is also associated with the brow chakra.

Moonstone: With its ghostly glow, this feldspar stone almost seems magical. High-quality rainbow moonstone is usually chatoyant and sometimes displays a strong cat's eye. The floating-light phenomenon and sheen of moonstone are called adularescence or schiller. The light is scattered by alternating layers of two kinds of feldspar and produces a misty luster of white, dull yellow, yellow-gray or greenish-gray, or peach. Incipient cleavage cracks often are visible inside the gemstone. Rainbow moonstone is a close relative of labradorite. It can be confused with selenite gypsum, but while selenite is very soft and can be scratched with a fingernail, moonstone is relatively hard. Moonstone is the birthstone for June in Europe, and in the United States it shares that distinction with alexandrite and pearl.
