Tanzanite Rarity

Tanzanite is a rare and precious gemstone variety of the mineral zoisite.While zoisite itself occurs widely, the random presence of vanadium in the same vicinity under exacting geological conditions more than 585 million years ago created the ideal environment for tanzanites conception. Tanzanites formation is so rare that it has been described as being more astounding than the stone itself.

Found only in Tanzania

The worlds only known source of tanzanite occurs beneath the sweeping grasslands in the foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro in northern Tanzania, East Africa. Spawned during the Pan-African Event, when massive geological activity ripped Africa from India and set Asia adrift from North America, tanzanites geology is so unique that it has been described as a geological phenomenon. Indeed, experts maintain that the chance of tanzanite occurring elsewhere in the world is more than one in a million.

Just one generation

This geology is rendered even more phenomenal by the fact that the source is limited to a single generation. Those fortunate enough to already own tanzanite, and those who acquire it in the next decade or so will be the only first-time owners. Thereafter, tanzanite will become a precious heirloom.

Unparalleled Scarcity

Because tanzanite is more than 1000 times rarer than diamonds, the unparalleled scarcity has earned tanzanite its own unique place in the gemstone hierarchy.

Diamonds, colored gemstones and tanzanite…

The historical two-way split between diamonds and colored gemstones has now evolved into a category triad: diamonds, colored gemstones and tanzanite.

Investment

Can you imagine what it is to own and have a collection of anything that is treasured, is increasing in demand and has a rapidly dwindling supply expected to be depleted in 5 to 10 years? This makes tanzanite a viable, secure and potentially, hugely profitable investment.

Tanzanite as a commodity is something that can only be found in a 4km square area in Tanzania, is hard to get at and incredibly easy to accidentally destroy during the extraction process. Yet tanzanite is something that people not only wish to have as an investment, but actually covet its incomparable beauty and what many believe it's healing and therapeutic properties.

Anyone seeking an infallible investment would want to consider anything of the caliber of tanzanite as an essential part of any investment portfolio. Unfortunately for those seeking tanzanite, most of the material presently coming out of the ground is of much lower quality than previously available. However, the demand for this incredible precious gemstone is growing rapidly on a daily basis.
