Tanzanite is a rare and highly sought-after natural gemstone known for its vivid blue to violet-blue color, pleochroism, transparency, and brilliance. A member of the zoisite mineral family, Tanzanite is found commercially only in Tanzania, near the Merelani Hills at the foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro. Its limited origin and distinctive color make the Tanzanite gemstone an important choice for collectors, jewelers, dealers, and international buyers.
Natural Tanzanite is valued for its distinctive blue, violet, and bluish-violet colors. Its restricted origin and limited supply make a genuine Tanzanite stone important in the international colored gemstone trade.
The quality of a Tanzanite gemstone depends mainly on its cut, color, transparency, brilliance, inclusions, size, and overall appearance.
Cut: Tanzanite is commonly cut in oval, cushion, pear, round, octagon, trillion, marquise, emerald, and other shapes. Traditional faceting is widely used, along with chequered or checked cutting. A well-proportioned cut helps enhance color and brilliance.
Color: Blue, violet, and blue-violet are characteristic Tanzanite colors. Strong, attractive saturation is generally preferred. Its pleochroism can produce different shades when viewed from different directions.
Transparency: Good transparency contributes to the beauty and value of a natural Tanzanite stone. Material with good light transmission and fewer distracting characteristics is generally preferred.
Brilliance: Cut, proportions, polish, symmetry, and transparency influence the brilliance and sparkle of Tanzanite.
Inclusions: Natural Tanzanite may contain inclusions or fractures. Their size, visibility, and effect on transparency are considered when evaluating quality.
Commercial terms such as AAA Tanzanite and AA Tanzanite are also used by individual sellers, although these grades are not universally standardized. Jewelfields evaluates Tanzanite according to its actual characteristics.
Certified natural Tanzanite is an important choice for buyers purchasing higher-value gemstones or sourcing stones for professional jewelry use. Laboratory reports can provide information about identity, treatment, measurements, and other characteristics.
Jewelfields offers certified Tanzanite gemstones at competitive trade rates and can provide laboratory reports for stones. We also supply wholesale Tanzanite parcels and lots in different sizes, shapes, and qualities.
Tanzanite price varies considerably according to color, quality, size, clarity, transparency, cut, and overall appearance. Fine-quality, well-cut and polished Tanzanite in larger sizes can cost over US$1,000 per carat, while commercial-quality stones with significant inclusions and fissures can be available for less than US$10 per carat.
Strong blue-violet color, good transparency, attractive cutting, and lively brilliance generally command higher prices. Most Tanzanite in the jewelry trade is heat treated to develop its characteristic blue and violet colors; untreated material can occur in brown to orangy-brown shades with less blue. Treatment information should be disclosed where applicable.
