The MOHS hardness of tanzanite is only 6.5 to 7.    If you are going to wear that ring constantly...keep in mind that you have to be careful with it.

SURE LOOKS PRETTY IN THE PICTURE. HEAT TREATED GEMSTONES LOOSE THEIR COLOR OVER TIME.....

DON'T BE FOOLED!

I have to say--that TSV is gorgeous. Am a fan of tanzies and have a few very nice pieces--small pieces----but won't be buying.

It doesn't call out to me at all. I think the setting is boring for my taste although the stones are beautiful. Oh, and it's totally cost inhibited for me. I hope everyone who purchases enjoys it.

@Carolina925 I agree, the color is beautiful but the setting is boring.

@Auntie CC Are these heat treated?

Nevermind.  They are per the description.

Is tanzanite a joke?  Years ago the vendors were saying the mines are closed buy it now so you don't miss out.  Years later they are still mining it.

You are wrong.  The mines have been closed for several years.  The tanzanite we see now was mined many years ago when it was plentiful. But it was a single source gemstone found only on one small area so investors and collectors bought aot of it.  They filled their wharehouses and waited 20, 30 years for the inevitable.  They are selling it now for huge profits.  That is what we are seeing.  Of course eventually that will be gone too.
