 Tanzanite
is a very special and unique gemstone. World-wide
it occurs only in one specific location.
Its blue colour which shimmers in a slightly
purplish hue is magnificent indeed. Because
of its unusually attractive flair it was
easy for New York Jeweller Tiffany’s
to make it one of the most sought-after
and popular gemstones in the world.
The Tanzanite trade is managed by many, usually small-scale licensed traders who have built up good business relationships
ith gemstone firms in Germany, India, Israel and the USA. An estimated 90 per cent of all Tanzanite traders are registered
members of the International Colored Stone Association ICA and thus dedicated to the respective high ethical standards of
ICA. In this way, then this exclusive gemstone is not brought to the world markets via suspicious back-street dealers, but
in spite of its rarity is distributed via reliable and trustworthy official channels to well-reputed gemstone-cutters, and
then passed on to the most important jewellers all over the world.
