What FolkmarketGems Can Offer you in Natural Uncut Tanzanite or Loose Tanzanite Stones?

The most popular stone, Tanzanite, is mostly found in blue or blue-violet color and belongs to the zoisite family. It is commercially found in only one place in the world: the Merelani Hills of Tanzania, and this is the reason its name is Tanzanite in honor of the place. Now, it is the main rival of sapphire and is the main contributor to the market.

Tanzanite shows different colors because of pleochroism, which means that crystal shows a different color when it is by the different crystal directions. Tanzanite pleochroism was mentioned in the scientific paper soon after its discovery. 1969 American mineralogist revealed the gem's pleochroic colors are deep blue. Red-violet and yellow-green. But nowadays, most of the gems are heat treated to reduce their yellowish and green color or, in other words, their pleochroic color to maximize their blue or violet color. The reason behind this is that this blue color, Tanzanite, is more expensive and is more in demand.

Type of Raw Tanzanite Stones for Gemstone Cutters and Lapidary Artists

Gemstone cutters and lapidary artists are the most important people to find out the real beauty of the raw Tanzanite. They carefully cut, gave them a shape, and polished them to show the real beauty of the Tanzanite. Raw gemstones provide the opportunity for gem cutters to cut them to fulfill specific jewelry or décor needs. No matter where you use them, like in face cuts, cabochons, or other artistic uses. 

The professional craftsman examines each Tanzanite, and then they decide how it should be cut and which type of shape and cut we can get from this raw Tanzanite. When gems cutters decide to cut the benzamide, then the cutting planning is the most crucial process for them because they have to dice the cut type, which increases its brilliance and increases its value. Before the gems cutter cuts it, they divide the Tanzanite into the desired market pieces, which is part of planning the rough stones to be seen or cut. The wrong cut can spoil the gem, and it can be useless. Then, it is polished to get its final shape to present in the market. Top of Form

Where is Tanzanite most commonly found?

Tanzanite exclusively originates from a singular location worldwide, namely Tanzania, situated near Mount Kilimanjaro in northern Tanzania. The scarcity of this gemstone, coupled with its unique geological setting, has propelled its value surpassing even that of diamonds. The finite nature of Tanzanite reserves is anticipated to go away within a few years. Due to its distinct geographic occurrence, the likelihood of discovering Tanzanite in other parts of the world is minimal. Notably, the entry of Tanzanite into the commercial market was pioneered by D'souza, a tailor by trade and a passionate prospector. Initially mistaken for a sapphire, it wasn't until a few years later that the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) in New York identified and classified Tanzanite as a variety of zoisite through careful analysis.
