We specialise in top quality Tanzanites The name TANZANITE, is named after the East African country where it is mined. First found in the late 1960 near Arusha, Tanzania, not far from Kilimanjaro International airport. There are four mining blocks-A, B, C and D. These mining blocks cover only a small area and are expected to be mined out in the next 10 to 20 years. After that one could only buy second hand stones! So now is the time to invest in some of these extremely rare and beautiful gems. |
