Tanzanite AB Hotfix Rhinestones – SS6 & SS10

Meet Tanzanite AB—a gorgeous blue-purple rhinestone with an AB (Aurora Borealis) finish that creates brilliant flashes of shifting color as the light hits. 💜💙💎

Underneath all that reflective sparkle is Tanzanite, giving this stone its distinctive blue-violet foundation. The AB finish can produce flashes of blue, aqua, violet, pink and other rainbow hues depending on the lighting and viewing angle.

Tanzanite AB is especially striking against dark fabrics, where its rich color and brilliant reflections really POP. Use it for purple and blue color palettes, celestial designs, school and team colors, performance wear, accessories and projects that need dramatic sparkle.

The quality of the shine will speak for itself!

💡 Comparing Tanzanite AB, Amethyst AB & Jet AB?

These three can look surprisingly similar because their strong AB reflections sometimes dominate the underlying color.

But they are not the same stone.

Tanzanite AB has a blue-violet Tanzanite base, Amethyst AB has a purple Amethyst base, and Jet AB has a dark Jet Black base.

When you're comparing them, change the lighting and viewing angle and look beneath the strongest AB reflections. That's where their individual base colors become easier to see.

Jet AB can be especially tricky because its dark Jet base is harder to spot beneath all that reflection.

When in doubt: MOVE YOUR HEAD. 😂💎

💎 Please Note About Color

We do our best to photograph and display colors accurately. However, slight variations in color may occur between batches, and AB rhinestones may appear differently depending on lighting, viewing angle and screen/device settings.

The AB reflection can sometimes dominate the underlying Tanzanite color. Changing your lighting or viewing angle can help reveal more of the blue-violet base beneath the reflective finish.

If adding to stones you already own, we recommend purchasing enough for your entire project at one time for the closest possible match.
