Discovered in 1967 near the foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro, tanzanite is found in only one place on Earth: the Merelani Hills of northern Tanzania. This extraordinary gemstone — a variety of the mineral zoisite — displays a mesmerising trichroic quality, shifting between deep violet-blue, burgundy, and sage green depending on the viewing angle.
The Cultural Heritage Centre Jewelry division works directly with ethical mining operations in Merelani, ensuring full chain-of-custody documentation and fair treatment of miners. Every tanzanite piece in our collection comes with a certificate of authenticity and origin.
