Rough Gems: Tanzanite Crystals

Tanzanite Crystals are rather rare, in general, as much of the material is badly broken when the miners recover it.  On the other hand, if the crystals are nice, the miners want to cut them up to make gems. All of our tanzanite comes from the world's one commercial deposit in the Merelani Hills of Tanzania near Arusha. In spite of their rarity, we have a very nice selection - these can be collected as specimens or used in making some very unique wire wrap type jewelry.
