Best Answer

A sapphire is one the most precious and valuable blue gemstone as it has excellent color, hardness, luster and durability. Sapphires with a deep blue color and excellent transparency can cost several thousand dollars a carat. A tanzanite is blue with a hint of purple and it consists of calcium aluminium silicate and is not very hard, as it has a value of 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs scale and is only found in the East African state of Tanzania.
