Never heard of it, but tanzanite is a trichroic gem that has blue, purple and pink in it. I can see people thinking it has chameleon like qualities based on the trichroic properties.
It''s total rubbish rparker and just a marketing ploy! As TL has said, Tanzanite is trichroic and therefore in different lights can look more purple or more blue (with pink and red flashes). I''ve seen Tanzanite marketed as "colour change Tanzanite" which is nonsense! All that happens is the Tanzanite is very strongly trichroic (more so than other pieces). Don''t be duped into buying one unless what you actually want is a piece of Tanzanite.Date: 1/9/2009 10:17:21 PM
