Tanzanite is a rare gem found only in Northern Tanzania in the Arusha region close to Mount Kilimanjaro. This gemstone is
named after its country Tanzania..
I own an amazing Tanzanite ring that keeps fascinating me. The Tanzanite looks deep blue to me, but later discovered with movement, this stone gave me an array of beautiful colours. I love it!! In a conversation with Mohamed Mzava, who is in the mining industry, I can say; my knowledge of gems in Tanzania has greatly expanded. Apart from the diamonds, golds and a few more, I now have seen pictures of Maasai moonstone, Tanzania moonstone, Green garnets and more. I must say I was pleasantly surprised to know that there is much more than what I initially thought. Tanzania a country on Sun, Sand & (now) Gems!!!
