WELCOME TO THE TANZANITE FOUNDATION
 

A non-profit industry supported organisation, The Tanzanite Foundation strives to develop the Tanzanite industry. Our work involves increasing consumer awareness and providing assistance to a range of stakeholders in the Tanzanite value chain.

Since a Maasai Tribesman first stumbled upon this shimmering blue crystal in the foothills of Tanzania's Mount Kilimanjaro in 1967, Tanzanite has become one of the world's most cherished and sought-after gemstones.

It is no wonder.

With its symphony of exquisite royal blue, lilac or periwinkle hues and a supply only expected to last just a single generation; Tanzanite has captured the imagination of the world's most beautiful people and earned its rightful place next to diamonds as a must-have gemstone.
