Tanzanite is a very rare gemstone first discovered in 1967 in the east-African country of Tanzania, near the foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro. Tanzanite belongs to the Zoisite family, and its official name is ‘Blue Zoisite’, a calcium aluminium hydroxy silicate, Ca2Al3(SiO4)3(OH).
The jewellery store Tiffany’s unofficially renamed Blue Zoisite ‘Tanzanite’ a short time after its discovery to improve it marketability. Tanzanite is now the common name used commercially around the world.
Tanzanite is a reddish brown mineral that morphs into a bluey-violet colour when irradiated at temperatures around 550-700 degrees celcius. Irradiation may occur naturally within the earth, though most pieces of Tanzanite on the market today have been heat-treated artificially to alchemically unleash their polychromatic hues.
Metaphysically, Tanzanite is an invaluable healing tool for aligning the heart and mind, and hence embracing ‘Spiritual Intelligence’. Spiritual Intelligence, defined by David B. King and Teresa L. DeCicco in an article published in 2009 in the International Journal of Transpersonal Studies, is an ‘”…. awareness of the nonmaterial and transcendent aspects of one’s existence, leading to such outcomes as deep existential reflection, enhancement of meaning, recognition of a transcendent self, and mastery of spiritual states.”
Thus Tanzanite supports your capacity to contemplate the multi-dimensional nature of existence, the ability to identify and transcend patterns of self, the capacity to create and master your life purpose, and an ability to connect with higher states of consciousness.
Firstly, Tanzanite facilitates the awakening of the pineal gland to promote your conscious connection to dimensions beyond the construct of your third dimensional reality. When used in combination with Selenite during personal meditation or during a healing session, the synergy of these crystals stimulates a greater spiritual awareness and heightened perception of our placement within a multi-dimensional galaxy and universe. You maybe guided to reflect on the first dimensional crystalline energy grid of Earth, the second dimensional intuitive energy of plants and animals, your third dimensional material existence, the fourth dimensional nature spirit realm, the fifth dimensional vibration of your higher self, the sixth dimensional portal of the Pleiades and the seventh dimensional portal of Sirius that brings your awareness into the 8th dimensional black hole of our Milky Way Galaxy and all galaxy’s in all directions of time and space. Through lateral thinking and contemplation, scientists and quantum theorists are everyday embracing new insights of existence, supported by the presence of Tanzanite here on Earth.
Secondly, Tanzanite, through aligning your third-eye and throat chakras, provides you with the opportunity of identifying your old patterns and subconscious beliefs that prevent you from living a fulfilling and authentic life. Ninety percent of your subconscious beliefs are programmed prior to seven years of age, and day to day we live the majority of the time reacting to circumstances from our sub-conscious programming. Tanzanite, particularly when used with Azurite and Golden Selenite, brings clarity into your old beliefs, and insight into how you can transcend or modify your physical, emotional and mental behaviours in line with a conscious course of action.
Thirdly, with your ability to identify and transcend your limiting beliefs, Tanzanite creates an opportunity for you to create and master your life purpose. Your purpose in this lifetime is to follow the inner-callings of your heart, align these with the wisdoms of your higher-self, and then enact upon the synergy from a place of grace and ease. When in this place of deep connection, miracles transpire, possibilities abound, and syncronicity brings opportunities or people into your life that guide and further your cause. It is from this place of grace that you live your life purpose, embrace unlimited abundance and fulfil your deepest heart desires.
And finally, Tanzanite awakens your capacity to connect with higher states of consciousness, states of being beyond the fifth dimensional realm. Connecting to cosmic consciousness accelerates your personal evolutionary journey of self, and hence serves the good of the greater whole. You are free to transcend the limiting beliefs of society, the restricting boundaries that others may place upon you, and envision your life and your purpose in the greater context of all of creation. You are simply free to be you, and free to create from a place of eternal love, rather than limiting fear.
Use Tanzanite in personal meditation, wear it over your heart, or consider drinking an elixir* of Tanzanite in order to entrain with the potency of this divine gemstone.

*Please Note: Many crystals contain minerals which are potentially toxic – forinstance Tanzanite contains aluminium. Thus we recommend when making an elixir of Tanzanite that the crystal does not come in physical contact with water at any time.
