Tanzanite Tree of Life Pendant in Silver Blue Violet Gemstone
The Tree of Life is a concept that’s been featured in myth, story and legend literally all around the world. Since ancient times, people have used variations on the theme. Connecting all things – the realms of the spirit, the physical, the Divine and the mundane – the roots of the Tree and the branches touch all things and bring them together in harmony.
This pendant is handmade using painstaking wire-wrapping techniques. Hand hammered non-tarnish sterling silver plated silver wire frames and encircles the pendant, and is then also used as the roots, trunk and branches of the tree. The tree is filled with “leaves” of faceted Tanzanite rondelles.
One of the most cherished and sought-after gemstones in the world today, Tanzanite is blue-purple to purple blue stone belonging to family of zoisite.Tanzanite is found in only one place in the world: Tanzania, Africa in the foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro. Discovered in 1967, it’s also a relatively “new” gemstone and was named by the famous jewelry store, Tiffany & Co.
The gem is also known for displaying gorgeous color spectrum which is a result of its trichroic nature. Tanzanite is extremely light sensitive, with incandescent light tending to shift its color to the violet side and causing red and pink flashes to appear within the stone. All Tanzanite is heat-treated to help enrich the vibrancy of the stone. Since heat treatment is universal, it has no effect on price.
