It was first discovered in the Merelani Hills of Tanzania in 1967 and was named after its country of origin.

Tanzanite’s geological formation is unique and fascinating. It is believed to have formed through a combination of heat and pressure during tectonic activities that occurred around 585 million years ago.

Tanzanite’s rarity stems from its geological origins being confined to a specific area in northern Tanzania, which contributes to its limited availability.

It’s an awful climb-down to the 400m level of the one of the Merelani Area Tanzanite mine. Without elevator, oxygen, and safety facilities it was a relatively dangerous activity. - Mindat.org
