About the Blog
Discover Tanzanite
This blog was created to share the incredible story of tanzanite — a gemstone found in only one place on Earth: the Mirerani Hills in northern Tanzania.
From its 1967 discovery after a lightning bushfire, to its rise as one of the world's most coveted gems, tanzanite is 1,000 times rarer than diamond — and it is entirely Tanzanian.
Prepared by Janey with research, passion and a deep love for Tanzania's natural treasures.
