SABRINA’S ADVICE & PICKS
Tanzanite has a vitreous luster which means that it is very soft and brittle and hence cannot be exposed to certain temperature. Due to it brittle nature it is very sensitive to ultrasound and hence ultrasonic cleansers and never use mechanical and chemical cleaners. Ultra care should be taken for those who wants to wear it. Available in many shapes ranging from square, round, pear or heart shapes, but a large Tanzanite gemstone is a perfect one for a chubby face and on the other side small Tanzanite studs will go well with slim face and high cheek bones.
