This is a wonderful necklace, the best quality that money can buy. Tanzanite is a very rare precious gemstone that is only found in the Usumburu Mountains that border the Umba Valley of northern Tanzania. It was originally discovered in 1967 by Tiffany & Company, who named the stone Tanzanite. This example is unique due to its exceptional pleochroism (an optical phenomenon in which a stone has different colors when observed at different angles).The piece has been certified and found to be an authentic example by AIG (American Interanational Gemolgists, a GIA certified gemologist AIG#: 000721083000) and appraised for $18,650.
