Tanzanite is a stone of spiritual awakening and psychic abilities. It activates the Third Eye and Throat chakras, facilitating communication with the higher realms and one’s own inner truth. It helps one to manifest their highest spiritual potential and to release any blockages or limitations in their path. Tanzanite is also said to aid in deep meditation, facilitating a state of inner peace and tranquility. This fabulous stone is also said to encourage self-expression and creativity, making it a great crystal for artists and writers.
Tanzanite is a rare variety of the mineral zoisite discovered in 1967 and is only found in the Mererani Hills in northern Tanzania. It is typically blue-violet in color due to the presence of vanadium and is often heat-treated to enhance its color.
Tanzanite works well with other high-vibration stones such as Moldavite, Phenacite, and Herkimer Diamond, as well as with grounding stones like Black Tourmaline and Smoky Quartz to help integrate spiritual experiences into daily life. It can also be paired with Lapis Lazuli or Sodalite to enhance its communication-enhancing properties.
