Tanzanite is a blue to violet variety of the mineral Zoisite. It is used as a gemstone just like the pink variety Thulite.

Like Zoisite, Tanzanite crystallizes in the orthorhombic crystal system and typically forms transparent, prismatic to columnar crystals that can reach lengths of several centimeters and exhibit a vitreous luster on their surfaces. The cleavage planes tend to have a more nacreous shine.

The iron meteorite Campo del Cielo was first mentioned in 1576. At the find site there is a field of 122 pits and craters, the largest measuring 70 m in diameter and 5 m deep. In the last two centuries, numerous masses, some weighing tons, have been recovered there, so the total weight is estimated at 30–50 t, which makes Campo del Cielo the third-largest meteorite after Hoba and Cape York.
