Simulated tanzanite rings may be genuine mineral of a different variety than true tanzanite but similar, or they can be skillfully crafted from glass, or they may be lab created using the cubic zirconia technology that has advanced to offer colored gemstones that are dazzling and bright. But are CZ stones the best imitations that are used for jewelry? The answer to that would have to be YES. Cubic zirconia rings that use the periwinkle bluish-purple simulated tanzanite stones are incredibly realistic looking. The reason is that tanzanite is a very unusual hue of translucent blue that CZ gems imitate very well due to their transparency and brilliance by nature. In fact, it has been noted that CZ stones make even better simulated tanzanite than imitation diamonds.
