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 ring is of the best quality available to the public. The ring size is US 7 1/4. The piece comes complete with AIGL Inc. (American International Gemological Laboratories, Inc. a GIA certified lab AIGL#: K33E13-EA14944) report and appraisal, confirming the above info and giving a total value of $9,100.00.
