According to legend, it all started with a lightning bolt. A single lightning strike set the plains of Africa aflame … and revealed a geological secret that had been buried for more than 585 million years. This incredible discovery was tanzanite, a stunning violet blue gem that naturally occurs only one place on Earth: the craggy shadow of Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania. When it debuted in 1967, it was a sensation; Henry Platt, president of Tiffany & Co., called it “the most important gemstone discovery in over 2,000 years.”
Now you can own your own piece of treasure with the Manyara Tanzanite Pendant. Fifteen tanzanite gemstones line this swirling tribute to the surprise of discovery. Set in yellow gold-finished .925 sterling silver, this pendant is the proper way to honor a gem that’s 1,000 times rarer than diamonds. Don’t delay. Supplies are limited for this one-of-a-kind “gemstone of a generation.”
Chain not included, we suggest #33039 Gold-finish Sterling Silver Chain
