Me, too! Sapphires are my birthstone. I really love Tanzanite, as well. Many of the rarer ones have the same deep blues like Sapphires with a bluish/purple hue.

Tanzanite is rarer than any diamonds except red and untreated pinks. . . and much rarer than sapphires and rubies. Go for the deepest blue with red flashes you can afford. They come from only one mine and it's been closed for years.
