Legend has it that tanzanite was first discovered when some brown gemstone crystals lying on the dry earth were caught in a fire set by lightning that swept through the grass-covered hills. The Masai herders driving cattle in the area noticed the beautiful blue color and picked the crystals up, becoming the first tanzanite collectors.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #666666;\"\u003eTanzanite has the beauty, rarity and durability to rival any gemstone.
