From gemstone to polished jewelry - what goes into making tantalizing tanzanite pieces

Tanzanite is quite possibly the most elegant and rare blue gemstone found today. Tanzanite is the blue violet variety of the mineral Zoisite and the product of millions of years of formation under the right conditions. This jewel wasn't found until 1967; when it was discovered in the foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro in northern Tanzania.

Untreated tanzanite is normally brown. Mostly all tanzanite on the open market has been heated to draw out its tone. The shades vary from pale icy blue or lilac shades to intense and vivid blue or violet colors. The gems with the most intense color in exceptional saturation are the most valued. 

On the Mohs’ Scale of Hardness, Tanzanite ranks as moderately hard, with a score that generally ranges from 6.5 to 7. Tanzanite also has one direction of cleavage, along which it is easier to split the crystal in two. As such, when the rough crystal is cut into a gemstone, the cutter must ensure that they do not harm the stone.

At TopTanzanite, through dynamic processing, we transform rough Tanzanite into radiant gemstones. Our remarkable Tanzanite are ethically sourced from their single origin, then cut and crafted in house. Tanzanite can either be cut into calibrated cuts, which are precise down to tenths of a millimeter, or in large eye catching free sizes. Since rough Tanzanite crystals follow a very complicated symmetrical shape, the crystal itself guides our cutters in creating these amazing pieces. These pieces are then sold loose, or set in jewelry.

We are one of the true “mine to market” manufacturers of tanzanite  jewelry and loose tanzanite. We assure customers with the best quality, authentic tanzanite loose stones, at the best price that are delicately carved and brought to the market.
