Tanzanite
One of the rarest gemstones on earth — found only in the foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro.
Tanzanite
"A gem so rare it is found in only one place on earth — the foothills of Kilimanjaro."
Tanzanite, with its mesmerising shades of blue and violet, is one of the most captivating gemstones discovered in modern times. Found exclusively in a small area of Tanzania near Mount Kilimanjaro, this exquisite gem is celebrated for its extraordinary colour and exceptional brilliance. Its unique trichroic nature means it displays different colours — deep velvety blue, violet, and burgundy — depending on the angle of observation.
Tanzanite's stunning colour makes it a natural choice for fine jewellery. It is frequently set in rings, necklaces, earrings and bracelets, where its vibrant hues can be showcased. Tanzanite pairs beautifully with both white and yellow metals — platinum, gold and silver — and is often accented with diamonds or other complementary gemstones. Its rarity makes it particularly popular for engagement rings and special occasion pieces.
At Karen Brand Limited, we source our Tanzanite from the finest mines in Tanzania. Our team ensures that each piece is ethically mined and meticulously inspected for colour saturation, clarity and quality. We offer cut and polished tanzanite to wholesale buyers, jewellers and collectors worldwide.
