I travel to the Merelani Hills of Tanzania — the only place on Earth where tanzanite exists — and buy raw tanzanite directly from miners I've worked with for years. No middlemen, no mystery: just 100% natural, unheated tanzanite specimens at some of the best pricing in the industry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach piece in this collection is one of a kind. From gem-grade crystals with glassy terminations to large statement specimens, every stone shows the vivid blue-violet color and trichroic flash that only untreated tanzanite carries. Higher-end pieces include our certificate of authenticity, and payment plans are welcome on larger specimens — just ask.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTanzanite Crystal FAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAre these tanzanite crystals natural and unheated?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes — every specimen we sell is completely natural and unheated.
