Gorgeous sparkling genuine tanzanites surround a beautiful opal in a classic halo style. There are also small diamond accents that add a touch of elegance to the large setting. This was a part of the Rarities collection by Carol Brodie. It was supposed to be a size 8, but it\'s a little over the mark on my mandrel. Stamped MLD 925.


***Tanzanite is exclusively mined in one area of the world: Merelani, a small region in northern Tanzania, near Mount Kilimanjaro. The area is only 17 kilometers long and has been divided into four mining blocks (A-D) by the Tanzanian government. Tanzanite is recognized as one of the world\'s rarest gemstones.
