Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Tanzanite so rare and valuable?
Tanzanite is mined exclusively in a narrow strip of land near Merelani, Tanzania — making it geographically one of the rarest gemstones in existence. With no known alternative source and finite reserves, its supply is inherently limited. This 1.92-carat stone, with its vivid purplish-blue transparency, represents exactly the kind of gem that collectors and fine jewellers prize for both its beauty and its scarcity.
What does “heated” treatment mean for this Tanzanite?
Heat treatment is the universally accepted and standard process applied to virtually all Tanzanite on the market. It refines the stone’s natural colour, enhancing its characteristic purplish-blue saturation and bringing out the full visual depth the gem is celebrated for. This treatment is stable and permanent, and does not diminish the stone’s beauty or long-term value.
Is this Tanzanite suitable for setting into fine jewellery?
Yes — the 9 x 7.1 mm oval mixed cut is a beautifully versatile shape that lends itself elegantly to rings, pendants, and earrings. Tanzanite carries a Mohs hardness of 6.5 to 7, and while it is best suited for pieces that are worn with care, it is a perfectly appropriate choice for fine jewellery when set with protective settings such as bezels or halo-style mounts. We recommend consulting with your jeweller on the ideal setting for your lifestyle.
How should I care for my Tanzanite gemstone?
Tanzanite is best cleaned gently with warm soapy water and a soft brush — avoid ultrasonic cleaners, steam cleaning, and harsh chemicals, which can affect the stone’s surface over time. Store your Tanzanite separately from harder gemstones to prevent accidental scratching. With mindful care, this exquisite stone will retain its luminous purplish-blue character for generations to come.
