Tanzanite Stone: Price, Quality, mining & Investing?

Today we will be covering everything you need to know about Tanzanites. From color, price range, origins, imitations, and optical phenomenon that most people are not aware of. This is a stone that is well known amongst jewelers for its beauty, but the public does not seem to know too much about. So, we’re excited to share our knowledge and encourage customers to consider Tanzanite’s as a viable option for their jewelry!

This gemstone was originally named by Tiffany & Co. when the stone was initially discovered in 1967 in Tanzania near Kilimanjaro. It has a hardness of 6.5, which is not ideal since we often look for 7 or above. However, it is still durable enough if you are a little more careful with it. Perhaps it’s a ring that you save for special occasions rather than every day. Treatments: 96% of Tanzanites are heat-treated and around 4% are naturally blue and therefore do not need any treatment. That substantially increases the price of a stone. However, today, we are yet to find a way of proving if a Tanzanite is heated or not. Pleochroism: The reason we say to Tanzanites have Pleochroism rather than color change or color shift is because its colors differ depending on the direction you are looking at the stone rather than the light. Tanzanites are actually one of the very few gemstones that are trichroic when unheated. You can see magenta, yellow, or green. When heated however, they become dichroic, meaning it loses an additional color when heated. Although, very rarely, they can sometimes remain trichroic. Prices: For a commercial quality Tanzanite, the starting price will probably be around $200 per carat. For a medium quality stone, the price will increase to $400-$500 per carat. A high quality Tanzanite can easily go for $1000 per carat. Although Tanzanites are 1000 times rarer than diamonds, they still have a much lower price point. That is because they are not as well-known and therefore not as in demand. Additionally, it is a softer stone and although the chances of breaking it are not that high, it is a possibility. Finally, it’s not a good investment. Since there is only one mine in the world that produces this stone, many people expected it to run out and for the process to skyrocket, however, there is no sign depletion yet. How to buy a Tanzanite: Color: The most sought after Tanzanites are usually deep purple-blue or a deep blue in color. They are extremely vibrant compared to many other blue stones. Avoid getting one that is too dark or too light. Cut: The cut of your stone affects the overall look greatly. Therefore, make sure your stone is not too deep and not too shallow, so it shines just right! Clarity: You need to make sure your stone is as clear as possible. Avoid cloudiness within the stone that will affect light shining through the stone. Additionally, cracks within the stone affect its durability and heighten the likelihood of a stone breaking. How to take care of your Tanzanite? As previously stated, Tanzanites are more fragile than other stones like Diamonds and Emeralds, therefore you do have to be more careful with it. Another important note is to keep it away from heat. Slight heat can change the color of your stone and extreme heat can destroy it.   / dominiqueflux     / dominiqueflux     / fineandflux   https://fineandflux.com/ https://www.pinterest.ca/FineandFluxJ...
