Tanzanite confidence
Tanzanite is an incredible gemstone that makes a sound investment, and a gorgeous jewellery creation. When purchasing tanzanite, it is important to establish that the stone is authentic, and that it made its way to market via an ethical and fair route. The 5th C is the confidence knowing that you are buying your tanzanite jewellery creation or loose stone through a reputable jewellery and that the journey of your tanzanite from rough to polished was an ethical one.
Extremely rare, tanzanite is only found in the Merelani Hills, a tanzanite mining area of about 4km, in Tanzania. About 16km south of the Kilimanjaro International Airport, the area lies at the base of Mount Kilimanjaro. As this is the only known source of tanzanite in the world, the gemstone is believed to be around a 1 000 times more rare than diamonds, making it extremely sought-after.
