The Significance of Sagittarius’s Birthstone
Born between November 22 and December 21, Sagittarians are known for their adventurous spirit, optimism, and love of discovery. Their birthstone, tanzanite, mirrors these qualities with its captivating violet-blue hues and rare origin. Symbolising transformation, wisdom, and truth, tanzanite encourages clarity of thought and emotional balance, perfectly aligning with Sagittarius’s quest for knowledge and meaning.
A Modern Gemstone with a Remarkable Story
Unlike ancient birthstones, tanzanite is a relatively recent discovery, found only in one small region of the world, near Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania. First identified in the late 1960s, its striking colour and rarity quickly made it one of the most sought-after gemstones of the modern era.
Tiffany & Co. named the gem after its country of origin and introduced it to the world, calling it “the most beautiful blue stone discovered in 2,000 years.” Its deep indigo-to-violet tones are said to inspire intuition, self-awareness, and new beginnings, fitting symbols for the forward-thinking Sagittarius.
Today, tanzanite is cherished as a stone of spiritual insight, creativity, and calm energy, making it both a meaningful and visually stunning birthstone.
