Archipelago
Japan is an archipelago of 6852 islands.The four largest islands are Honshu, Hokkaido, Kyushu and Shikoku.
Tanzanite
Pleochroism is rare in gemstones and it is this quality that makes the blue colour of tanzanite (due to the presence of vanadium) so extraordinary. Tanzanite is trichroic- showing blue, purple and yellow in different directions of light- making the blue colour richer and deeper in the naked eye. But this blue colour that Cassandra so loves to design with, comes at a price because the stones are fragile and should be worn with great care. The birthstone for December- it is a reminder of those wintery moonlit nights.
