My Tanzanite! "for the love of Tanzania"


I see Tanzania as a Tanzanite and its people as Tanzanitians living in Bongoland. A country of beautiful people found no where else except Tanzania. This is how Tanzanite is described in a glossary
"A variety of zoisite named after its country of origin, Tanzania, where it was first discovered in 1967 and is still the only place where it can be found. Tanzanite is popular for its brilliance and is known for its varying shades of violet; from deep rich purple to lilac. The gem can be heated to achieve the most sought after shade, a vibrant blue violet....."
Another source illustrate Tanzanite as "....a very special and unique gemstone. World-wide it occurs only in one specific location. Its blue colour which shimmers in a slightly purplish hue is magnificent indeed. Because of its unusually attractive flair it was easy for New York Jeweller Tiffany’s to make it one of the most sought-after and popular gemstones in the world....." That is how I vision my Tanzania and Tanzanians a mosaic of colour, natural beauty and warmth.

Once you land in Tanzania you just love it. The source goes on to describe Tanzanite's physical atributes " ... Spectacular and magnificent is the deep blue of Tanzanite, ranging from ultramarine to a light purplish blue. The most coveted colour is a blue which shows a purplish hue shimmering around it, which is extremely spectacular in sizes above ten carats. Typical for Tanzanite is the appearance of several colours in one and the same stone: depending on the perspective, the stone appears blue, purple, or dun yellow. Most rough crystals, however, show a disturbingly large proportion of brownish-yellow,..."
Thats how I view Tanzania's spiritual qualities. You experience a wonderful multiple sense of well being that you have never felt before.
