At the foot of Kilimanjaro, Tanzanite is mined in a small area in the eponymous country of Tanzania, which is revered by the locals as the "crystal of heaven". Trichroism makes Tanzanite probably the most colorful mineral of all and, depending on the viewing angle, leaves it in colors of mystical blue , bright yellow and electric violet to dark red. Its rarity and excellent properties make it one of the most sought-after gemstones on the market.
