Tanzanite - Supply and Demand

There are many reasons to purchase Tanzanite, all of which center around its exceptional beauty. But what about Tanzanite's rarity and that mining are only possible at one place on earth? That's right; this gemstone has one single source, a source that is quickly diminishing. While the supplies of the gem have little to do with its immediate success, they will certainly determine the gems future value, and that's what this article will be about.

To understand Tanzanite values, it is good to understand a little bit about the history of the stone first a very short history at that. Tanzanite was discovered in 1967 in the hills of Northern Tanzania, and it was quickly named by Tiffany & Co. who promoted the stone with remarkable success. When Tanzanite is cut its color rivals, the finest Blue Sapphire Tiffany & Co. took advantage of that fact and began a brilliant marketing campaign.

Tanzanite's remarkable color fueled the stone's popularity but as supplies become scarce, there may be more reasons to purchase this remarkable gemstone. One reason we believe purchasing Tanzanite is wise is the explosive rate at which its value grows, and that won't be ending any time soon.
