Tanzanite occurs in colors of gray, brown, violet, blue, reddish-purple, and tints of green.
As of right now there is no longer any naturally occurring violet-blue Tanzanite being mined.
All known sorces of deep Violet Tanzanite have played out. Other colors are still being mined,
but color and quality are suffering as less and less good rough is being found.
Today rough Tanzanite of a lighterr color must be heated to 620°C to produce that rich violet-blue color.
Many Tanzanite gems on the market today are more Lilac in color rather than Violet.
ALL new purple Tanzanite gems on the market now are heat treated and should be disclosed as such.
