Frequently Asked Questions

What color is Tanzanite in rhinestones?

Tanzanite is a deep blue-violet that takes its name from the rare gemstone found in Tanzania. It reads as rich, jewel-toned, and sophisticated under stage and natural lighting — more purple than Sapphire and bluer than Amethyst. It is a strong choice for designs that call for a luxurious, multidimensional purple-blue with genuine depth.

What are 30ss rhinestones best for?

30ss rhinestones measure approximately 6.3mm – 6.5mm and are one of the larger hotfix sizes. They are best for bold statement accents, costume borders, scattered large stones, and designs that need to read clearly from a distance under stage lights. A 2 gross pack (288 pieces) suits generous accent areas or multiple costume pieces.

What is the difference between Tanzanite and Amethyst at 30ss?

Amethyst is a medium purple with warm, violet undertones — bright and clearly purple in tone. Tanzanite is deeper and bluer, reading as a blue-violet rather than a pure purple. Under stage lighting, Amethyst reads as vivid and warm while Tanzanite reads as cool, rich, and gemstone-like. Side by side, Tanzanite is the more dramatic and complex of the two.

Can I mix Tanzanite 30ss hotfix with smaller sizes for a layered design?

Yes. Pairing 30ss stones as focal accents with 16ss or 20ss fill stones in Tanzanite is a common technique for graduated coverage. Because MAXIMA crystals are sorted to strict size tolerances, Tanzanite at different sizes will match in color and finish throughout the design.
