THE TANZANITE EXPERIENCE

Open from 8:30am to 5:30pm Monday to Saturday and from 10am to 3pm on Sunday.

The Tanzanite Experience is a fast-growing retail concept store with outlets in Arusha, Manyara Region, Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Serengeti, and Zanzibar. The flagship store in the center of Arusha at Blue Plaza also has the "only tanzanite museum in the world."

Visitors not only get to see and feel tanzanite stones and jewellery, they get to understand the history of how tanzanite was discovered, experience the whole mining process through a replicated mine shaft and further appreciate the grading process and how tanzanite is appraised through the 4 C's grading system: 'Color, Clarity, Cut and Carat Weight'. The Tanzanite Experience offers a wide selection of stones and jewelry with all gemstones cut and shaped by professional Tanzanians who are highly experienced and skilled

In addition, the stores house a special collection of necklaces and earrings from the Maasai Women's Project, a local initiative empowering Maasai tribeswomen from the mining area of Merelani with their own business venture. This is one of many projects and charities that The Tanzanite Experience promotes and supports.

The Tanzanite Experience is unique in that it is the only company in Tanzania with direct access to a certification lab. This lab ensures that every gemstone sold is fully certified under laboratory conditions by geological experts and has its own unique certificate number and a certificate detailing the specifics of the stone. The certificates are internationally recognized.
