JUST ONE GENERATION
This geology is rendered even
more phenomenal by the fact that
the source is limited to a single
generation. Those fortunate
enough to already own tanzanite,
and those who acquire it in the
next decade or so will be the only
first-time owners. Thereafter,
tanzanite will become a precious
heirloom.

Seen & heard
Afshar and Mr. John and Debbie Textor chose the theme
“Dreams” last year when the Hobe Sound campus was still
in design and construction. The dream of a Middle and
Upper School campus was fulfilled in February when students
in grades 7 through 10 moved from 10th Street in
Stuart to a 142 acre campus off US 1 in Hobe Sound.
Diana DeGarmo, a friend of the Textors and a runner-up
on American Idol’s 2004 season, sang at the auction.
Besides hosting the first auction, the Afshars and Textors
also raised the most money of any auction in the school’s
history, more than $450,000 net. The funds raised benefit the
programs of The Pine School.

1000 times rarer
than Diamonds
Tanzanite is one of the most
intriguing and sought after precious
gemstones of modern
times. From a single known
source, deep in the foothills of
Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania,
East Africa. Its infinite supply is
expected to last just one generation.
Discovered in 1967, it is a
wonderful, unique, multidimensional
colored stone it radiates a
kaleidoscope of royal blue, violet,
indigo, lilac and periwinkle, and
has enchanted discerning jewelry
buyers seeking rarity and distinction.
Tanzanite is a rare and precious
gemstone variety of the
mineral zoisite. While zoisite
itself occurs widely, the random
presence of vanadium in the
same vicinity under exacting geological
conditions more than 585
million years ago created the
ideal environment for tanzanite’s
conception. Tanzanite’s formation
is so rare that it has
been described as being ‘more
astounding than the stone itself’,
a geological phenomenon.
“Experts maintain
that the chance of
tanzanite occurring
elsewhere in the world
is one in a million”
