It was the Maasai tribesman Ali Juuyawatu who first shared his blue-violet crystal find with Manuel de Souza (a Tailor by profession and prospector by passion) who was in the region searching for rubies. At first it was thought the stones were unusually vibrant sapphires, but the new gemstones were more complex than a sapphire, their colour more exotic. Manuel de Souza had no idea he’d encountered a gemstone the world had never seen, one that remained unnamed.
