When comparing it to better, sapphire or tanzanite are Gems with unique qualities. In Vedic astrology Sapphire, especially blue sapphire ‘Neelam’ is preferred as it is associated with the planet Saturn (Shani ) which is known to give luck, protection, and soundness of mind. It stands at nine on the Mohs hardness scale, meaning it is tougher for daily use. Tanzanite, which is much rarer, features an enchanting blue-purple hue, which has placed it firmly on the map of exceptional gemstones for jewelry. However, it is softer than the former, with a Mohs scale of 6.5. If you are looking for an astrological solution, sapphire is the better option, however, if looks are important to you then tanzanite is a very appealing and unique stone. At the end you’ll have to decide whether you are in a generation to look at the stars or to find a dress.
