It was originally discovered in 1967 by Tiffany & Company, who named the stone Tanzanite.

The piece comes complete with GAL(Gemological Appraisal Laboratory of America, Inc., a GIA certified lab GAL Appraisal Number#: GAL202211727) report and appraisal confirming the above information and giving a total value of $14,900.00. GIA (Gemological Institute of America) Tanzanite Grading Report#: 1166950352. The ring size is US 6 1/2. RN032366*
