Tanzanite Blues

Just a quick note about Tanzanite, the beautiful blue stones are mined only from Tanzania.  Don't think you can buy a Tanzanite ring or necklace for $50.  You can't.  Tanzanite is getting more rare and harder to mine. 


Tanzanite is mined in primative mine shafts, some as deep as 1000 feet. In 1998, flooding rains poured into those shafts and killed 160 miners. Since then, the government has taken safeguards to minimize this from happening again. The full fascinating story is found at www.gemsplusg.com /. Typical mine and typical workers. But boy what beautiful gems.
