-> Description
Tanzanite is from the
Merelani Mines, ,
Block D
. This is an outstanding stone for the serious buyer who is looking for an high quality.
Tanzanite is a very special and unique gemstone. World-wide it occurs
only in one specific location
.
Its blue color which shimmers in a slightly purplish hue is magnificent indeed. Because of its unusually attractive flair it was easy
for
New York Jeweler Tiffany
to make it one of the most sought-after and popular gemstones in the world. It was also reported that the Tanzania Government will be putting limitations on rough export. It is hypothesize that Tanzanite will be the next Alexandrite ? barely findable
1000 times rarer than diamond, and a third of the price of sapphire, with less than 10 years of mining life left this world class Cornflower-Blue D-Block Tanzanite represents about 1% of world supply available.
Its name reminds of the world-wide unique occurrence in the east-African state of Tanzania. Africa the name of this continent does not immediately remind us of gemstones. Nevertheless, Africa is a continent from where many splendid and beautiful stones find their way to the world markets. An example for this is Tanzanite, which was enthusiastically celebrated after its discovery in 1967 as
"
Gemstone of the 20th Century
"
Spectacular and magnificent is the deep blue of Tanzanite, ranging from ultramarine to a light purplish blue. The most coveted color is a blue which shows a purplish hue shimmering around it, which is extremely spectacular in sizes above ten carats.
The deep blue with the slight purple shade is one of the most extravagant colors available. It symbolizes immaculate but unusual elegance. Whoever purchases such a unique gemstone wants to be set apart from the masses. Wearing it communicates self-confidence and individuality. The almost magical color of a perfectly cut Tanzanite is not only attractive on young women, it also emphasis's the individuality of a mature woman.
For Tanzanites in especially good qualities and larger sizes almost
any price will be paid by now
.
What is it that makes this stone so coveted? Is it only the spectacular colors? Well, it seems we must also take the exclusive origin into account here. As the stone is found on one special location only in all the world, it is especially valuable. After all, the desire to own something unique and rare has always been a decisive criterion for assessing the value of special gemstones.

Diamond/Jewelry Questions:
What's the most important thing to remember when buying a diamond?
How a diamond is cut - so that all of its facets work in harmony to spark the greatest brilliance - is perhaps the most important thing to consider in the gem itself. Among the 4C's of diamond value, including clarity, color and carat weight, cut is the most critical. Cut is what unleashes a diamond's singular beauty. To learn more about the 4C's, visit our
Learning Center
.
Do you sell any conflict diamonds?
At TanzaniteCollection we source our diamonds from the world's best, most respected and largest diamond suppliers. We make every effort, as do our suppliers to ensure that we do not knowingly purchase or sell any conflict diamonds. We buy only from suppliers who warrant that their diamonds are from sources free from conflict. We are committed to the highest standards on behalf of our customers.
What's a karat? What's the difference between karat and carat?
Simply put, a karat is the unit of measurement used to indicate the purity of gold (since gold is in fact a mixture of gold and other metals). Pure gold is 24-karat (24K), 18-karat gold is 75% pure, and so on. Carat is a term used to measure the weight of a diamond, e.g. 1-carat, 2-carat, and so on. One carat is equal to 0.2 grams.
What are the 4Cs?
Diamonds are graded and priced according to what is universally referred to as the '4Cs'. They are Cut, Color, Clarity and Carat weight. Each is a description of the various characteristics of a diamond. For example, Cut refers to the shape of the diamond, which affects its fire and brilliance. Color refers to the amount of color in the diamond (the less color a diamond has, the more valuable it is, all other factors being equal). Clarity describes the number of natural blemishes and inclusions a diamond has, and Carat Weight is simply a measurement of the diamond's weight (not its size).
Why is 18K gold more valuable than 14K?
18 Karat gold is more pure, meaning it contains a higher percentage of gold. Pure gold is 24-Karat (24K), 18-Karat gold is 75% pure, and so on. Visit our
Learning Center
for a complete discussion of Jewelry Terms.
Why do similar pieces of jewelry have such different prices?
There are many factors that can affect the value of gold jewelry. Since gold is sold by weight, heavier pieces can be more costly than lighter ones. Designer jewelry also generally costs more, especially if it is a one-of-a-kind piece. Special finishes, such as matte or sandblasted, may also affect the cost of the piece.
What's the best way to care for and clean a diamond?
Here are some general guidelines for caring for and cleaning your diamonds:
Avoid wearing your diamonds while doing housework, yard work or any other kind of rough work. Even though a diamond is extremely durable, a hard blow could chip it. Also, when doing household chores, never allow your jewelry to come into contact with chlorine bleach.
The best way to clean your diamonds is in a bowl of warm, sudsy water with a bit of any mild liquid detergent. Brush the pieces with a soft brush, then transfer them to a wire or tea strainer and rinse with warm water. Pat dry with a soft lint-free cloth. Ultrasonic jewelry cleaners also work quite well.
What's the best way to care for and clean gold jewelry?
Your jewelry can be kept looking new if you follow a few simple guidelines: Avoid contact with bleach, soap, perfume, cosmetics, hairsprays, etc. Also, take your jewelry off at night and store it in a jewelry box with compartments that keep pieces from rubbing against each other.
You can clean your gold jewelry in a bowl of warm, sudsy water with a bit of any mild liquid detergent. Brush the jewelry with a soft brush until you have created lather around it. With the jewelry on a plastic or metal strainer, rinse off with warm water (be sure not to clean your jewelry over the drain!) Pat your jewelry dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.
