The gemstone was given the name ‘tanzanite’ by Tiffany & Co. after Tanzania, the country in which it was discovered. The scientific name of “blue-violet zoisite” was not thought to be sufficiently consumer friendly by Tiffany’s marketing department, who introduced it to the market in 1968. In 2002, the American Gem Trade Association chose tanzanite as a December birthstone, the first change to their birthstone list since 1912.

Hello Violet! For the Beach Event, may I request watching a meteor shower on the beach with Gilbert? Thank you!

A/N: an entry for @solomons-poison 's Summer Fun event. Here you go @atelier-the-atelier 💜

Gilbert x f reader

Mildly spicy content

WC: 1239

The sky above is an endless canvas of midnight blue, bespeckled with thousands of glowing silver stars. Before you, the sea stretches out to meet the sky, arms wide in welcome, ocean waves singing a soft song of reunion. The water kisses the shore, over and over again, white foam kisses that tickle your bare feet as you stand there, staring out into eternity. The night wind whips your clothing against the soft curves of your body and gently pulls your hair from its pins, as if doing Gilbert’s bidding, as if it knows how he likes you best: nothing restrained, nothing held back from him. You turn to look at him over your shoulder, to where he is propped up on his elbows beneath the sand dunes. Even from here, you see the intensity of his crimson eye as it takes you in, frames you within the beauty of the night, engraving the moment into his mind so it may forever be called forth when he wants it.

You gather your skirts in one hand and run back to him, your feet sinking into the soft, fine sand. He opens his arms and you fall into them, laughing at the thrill of being in his embrace, away from the responsibility of ruling, away from the austere walls of the palace, the tall forests and bare hills of Obsidian. You have both worked so hard, building up the country, building up a group of nobles you can trust, building relations to other countries, including your own Rhodolite. It was, in fact, after you both had stumbled into bed on the wrong side of midnight that Gilbert took one look at your tired face and announced he had an idea.

A small, private island off the coast of Tanzanite had turned out to be a brilliant idea. No one else on the island, no one needing anything from the imperial couple. No distractions, demands or concerns. Just you, Gilbert and the beauty of the beach, the blessing of solitude.

You turn within the circle of his arms, reaching up to brush his hair away from his forehead. God, you love him. A love so expansive that it sometimes feels like it might just break you into pieces, grind you into dust and carry you away into the ether. Gilbert smiles slowly, pulling you closer.

“Yes, Häschen? Is there something you want to say?”

You shake your head, instead leaning up to kiss him. By now you’ve kissed him a thousand times. You’ve run your fingers over every inch of his skin, tasted him in a hundred ways, fallen asleep next to him countless nights. And yet each time you press your lips to his, it feels new, another blossom sprouting in the arboreal shelter of your love for him. He shifts you both, laying you down onto the blanket, already pressing his body against yours. His cool fingers kiss your bare skin as he skims the scooped neckline of your dress, laughing huskily against your mouth as you try to arch up into his touch.

“Ah ah…..Geduld, meine Liebe.” Patience, my love.

You sigh your frustration as his hands run along the shape of your body, over your clothing, where layers of fabric suddenly feel torturous against your warm skin. You ache for the soothing coolness of his touch. And he knows it. He drops his head, white teeth nipping at the sensitive skin of your neck. One hand pins your shoulder down, the other stretches, expertly catching the damp hemline of your skirt and slowly drags it upwards, the backs of his fingers purposefully feathering over the bare skin of your calf, your knee, your outer thigh.

“Gil….” His name is seized by the wind as it leaves your trembling lips, carried away towards the black ocean and glittering sky. He bites the soft skin of your shoulder as his hand slides across the top of your thigh, fingers curling possessively inwards. Your eyes close, shutting out the world, as your body winds itself tighter, a mechanism in the hands of an expert engineer. One who knows exactly which minute adjustments of hips and fingers, teeth and tongue, will have the greatest effect.

You gasp as he traces filigree on the inside of your thigh, his touch teasing, cloyingly close to where you need him. Your body twists, trying to right the course of his fingers but they remain where they are, the maddeningly sensitive skin on the inside of your thigh, no matter how you move. 

Your laugh is fluttering ribbons of frustration and admiration, your eyes opening with the intention of catching his gaze and telling him to stop being so cruel. 

You gasp again but not because of your husband.

“Look…..” You grab his shoulder, pulling him away from your half open blouse and the rose-red kisses he’s been painting across your skin. Had he managed to undo the buttons with his mouth? Or his other hand? Or had he simply torn it? You have no idea. And right now it doesn’t matter. He looks up at you, his beautiful face flushed with desire, questions in the crimson depth of his eye. You point up at the sky. 

Velvet black is alive with light as several silver-white orbs streak across the sky, trailing long, glittering tails behind them. They burn white-hot as they fall like celestial beings falling from the heavens, aflame with holy light. Gilbert reaches up, removing his eyepatch, his gaze fixed on the sky.

His lips part in awe at the sight but he is quiet, drinking in the sight as the cosmic flames continue along their shimmering arc. He reaches out a hand without looking, knowing you'll take it and you do, threading your fingers through his as you watch alongside him in perfect quiet. Only the waves provide a soft accompaniment to the orchestral beauty of the meteor shower.

The only thing more moving than the living artwork of the sky is the feeling of experiencing it together. You glance away to watch him, his face another window to the divine, its beauty as heart-stopping as the meteors. He has gilded your life in silver, wrapped you within the tangles of his gossamer heartstrings and raised you into the light of a love brighter than any star.

The last shimmer fades from the sky, leaving only the memory of its radiance behind. You squeeze Gilbert's hand gently. He turns and he smiles, his eyes glowing like stained glass, backlit by the light of deepest affection. He tugs you towards him, clasping you against his chest as you fall back together onto the sand.

"I love you," you murmur in a voice smooth as sea glass, soft as the night wind.

Gilbert brushes your hair away from your face, his hand lingering behind your ear.

"Ich liebe dich auch," he answers in the language of his heart.��

Love, like the eternal movement of the sea, passes between you, carried by your words, tangible in your touching.

And then he shifts, rolling until he is above you, blocking your view of the night sky and filling it with something even more beloved.

His lips touch yours, his fingers wind through your hair, and you close your eyes once again, your heart radiant with a desire as bright and beautiful as any cosmic wonder.

tanzanite

a blue or violet gem variety of zoisite, containing vanadium

[sixminutestoriesblog]

tanzanite

While December babies share topaz with the November babies, November's topaz being golden-brown while December's is blue, December also lays claim to the newly discovered excitement of tanzanite.

Tanzanite, so the legend goes, was discovered by Masai herders in the Merelani Hills near Mt. Kilimanjaro. A lightning strike set the grasslands around the area on fire, forcing the herders to flee with their animals. When the fire had burned itself out and the Masai returned with their herds, they found the ground littered with beautiful dark blue stones (the government of Tanzania recognizes Jumanne Mhero Ngoma as the official discoverer of the gem). The rest of the world wouldn't find out about these stones until 1967 when a Indian prospector named Manuel de Souza, hunting for sapphires or gold depending on which story you go with, either stumbled across some of the blue gems himself or was directed there by the locals. At first he assumed they were olivine but something about them struck him as unique and so he sent some samples to a gemstone dealer friend of his and from that point on things took off. It wasn't long before the gem was discovered to be a brand new jewel. While the official name of the stone is blue zoisite, jewelry dealers knew better. In 1968, the gem was marketed as 'tanzanite' by Tiffany and Co. with the slogan that the rare new gem could only be found in two places in the entire world: "Tanzania and Tiffany's".

And Tiffanys was right. To this day, the rare stone is only found in Tanzania, in the same foothills that it was originally discovered in. There is no where else in the world these gems turn up. While I found 'lab created tanzanite' on etsy, I couldn't find any actual confirmation that the stone has ever been replicated in a lab, just that it has been imitated there. Right now, the entirety of this jewels deposits all exist in one single point, a stretch of land that's four miles long and one mile wide. This area is broken up into four sectors, half given to corporate mining and half to locals. In fact, Saniniu Laizer, a local man, mined the two largest tanzanite stones to ever have been found at 21 pounds(972 kg) and 11 pounds (5.1kg). He sold them to the government for 3.35 million USD.

Tanzanite is measured at 6.5 on the Mohs hardness scale. It is a member of the zoisite family with its natural color being a reddish brown to clear. Heat brings out its blue color which can dip almost into purple with some stones. It also shows different shades of color when viewed from different angles from red-violet to deep blue to yellow-green, though heat treatment will all but eliminate everything but the blue and violet colors and the cut of the gem can enhance a specific color as well. When viewed under cool lighting the gem appear more blue while warm lighting brings out its purple.

As a fairly new stone, to the west at least, tanzanite doesn't have much folklore to go with it. But there is some.

Tanzanite is considered a stone that brings good luck, new beginnings and prosperity. Which, yeah, that makes sense considering. In Tanzania, women that have just given birth wear blue, both their clothes and their jewelry, to give their child a healthy and positive life. Since tanzanite both changes color with heat as well as while it is turned to catch different angles, it is know as 'the stone of transformation'. Feng Shui believes that a tanzanite stone can promote peace, tranquility and open communication. It is the gift for 24th wedding anniversaries.

It is also very, very rare and limited. It has the moniker of 'the gemstone of a generation' because when the mines run dry, some guesstimates give less than twenty-five years, the tanzanite we have will be the only trace of it left.

Surprise entry for @dear-mrs-otome and @violettduchess's Sand, Snow, Sakura Event!

I...still don't play Ikemen Prince, but I've Absorbed much through friends. So, based on my secondhand/zero knowledge, I predict the Tanzanite Prince, Azel, is going to tup Emma's chin like this. Bonus prediction: he says a line like, "Shall I remain with you, my love?" which is a line from the anime Vampire Knight that will NOT leave my head. Bonus bonus prediction that he and Prince Silvio have a jingle off. By which I mean they're both decked in so many coins and gems that they both jingle horrendously. Maybe they'll puff up and jingle at each other like how rattlesnakes rise up and rattle?

Yeah the chin touching is based off the Seth Hyde CG i'm predictable

If you'd like to make silly, fun predictions about the new Princes, the event post is here! Thank you to Mrs O and Violet for hosting this event. You're lighting up my summer :D

Tanzanite

The name "tanzanite" was given because the world's only known tanzanite deposit of commercial importance is in northern Tanzania. The name reflects the gem’s limited geographic origin.

Tanzanite is the blue and violet variety of the mineral zoisite.

The mineral zoisite naturally occurs in a wide range of colors that include colorless, gray, yellow, brown, pink, green, blue, and violet. The name "tanzanite" is used for a color variety of zoisite that ranges from blue, through violet, to violetish purple.

Small curiosity: Titanic's “The Heart of the Ocean” is made of Tanzanite. Can Kisuke see you wearing it? Yes / No / Maybe - maybe, he can see Mayuri wearing it as a raw pendant, ring, or as a part of other body modifications, piercings perhaps - or not, the stone can be simply present in his headquarters while making some important public decisions

ㅤ'' Going for raw and unpolished glory. Here we got a match for you in color, benefits, and throat chakra, ~ '' he then added, '' I heard another legend - that the gem might stir bearer's inner fire, which is why I wonder if it would be more beneficial or dangerous for you ... '' Or rather for people around him ...

It was frustrating, that no matter what Urahara was saying, no matter what he presented him with - Mayuri would ALWAYS listen. He would never filter him out or ignore him. He was always engaged. Always interested. He looked at the informational chart Urahara was showing him. For a moment, he was reminded of the days when they had used to work side-by-side in the lab. Mayuri wasn't a sentimental person by any means so --- Why would he think back? What Urahara was showing him wasn't very useful. It was just a silly game, wasn't it? Which gemstone he would associate with Mayuri.

❝ You know I don't believe in legends. ❞ Mayuri stated with an impatient roll of his wrist. As if he wasn't taking the other seriously. Legends were just another word for theories that had no merit and hadn't ever been proved. He didn't exactly believe in ' inner fire ' anyway. If Urahara was speaking of motivation, then Mayuri had never struggled with that. Not for a long time anyway.

He took the chart from Urahara. He'd keep it. Of course he would. He would look at it more closely later, to try to see if it could be useful. He refused to believe that Urahara would waste his time. He wasn't like that - but maybe he'd become like that? Perhaps exile had made him forget what was important. In any case, Mayuri knew he would be acquiring some tanzanite. To study.

Tanzanite is actually the bisexuality stone because it refracts light in pink, violet and blue colors. Trust me I’m totally a gemologist and this is not a thought I had at 6 am

The bisexual stone is definitely the trash can mineral herself, Bicolor Tourmaline in blue and pink (with purple squishing up in the middle)

Fun fact, if you've gotten to volume four of Jeweler Richard, there is even a short bonus case about Bicolor Tourmaline and things being made of disparate parts and yet whole and deep affection.

Some tips on Tanzanite

Discovery: Tanzanite is a relatively recent addition to the world of gemstones. It was discovered in 1967 in the Merelani Hills of Northern Tanzania near Mount Kilimanjaro. The gemstone's limited geographical occurrence makes it one of the rarest gemstones in the world.

Exclusive Source: The only known source of tanzanite is the Merelani Hills area in Tanzania, making it a highly sought-after and exclusive gemstone.

Trichroism: Tanzanite exhibits trichroism, meaning it can display different colors when viewed from different angles. It typically appears blue from one direction and violet or purple from another, adding to its allure and visual interest.

Heat Treatment: The majority of tanzanite undergoes heat treatment to improve its color. This enhancement process can intensify the appealing blue-violet hues, making the gemstone more visually striking.

Mohs Hardness: Tanzanite has a hardness of 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs scale, indicating moderate durability. While it can be worn in jewelry, care should be taken to protect it from scratches and impacts.

Birthstone and Anniversary Stone: Tanzanite is recognized as the birthstone for December and is often used to celebrate the 24th wedding anniversary.

Rare Gem: Tanzanite's rarity and exclusivity contribute to its value and desirability. Its single-source origin and limited availability make it a prized addition to any gem collection.

Color Variations: Tanzanite's color can vary from deep blue to violet with hints of purple. It is extremely rare to find tanzanite in any other color, and the rich blue-violet hues are highly coveted by collectors and jewelry enthusiasts.

Commercial Availability: Despite its rarity, tanzanite has become increasingly popular and is commercially available in a wide range of jewelry, including rings, earrings, pendants, and bracelets.
