I loved this tour during my stay in Tanzania! The educational videos were informative. Our guide Beverly was very knowledgeable, friendly and gave a wonderful tour of the history and production Tanzanite. The jewelry and gems on display were beautiful!

Junaid Khan and his "TEAM" of coworkers were AWESOME in helping me with my ring creation/purchase experience. I can't count how many emails were sent back and forth. He/they were the MOST patient human beings with me in this whole process from inquiring about stones down to setting creations. This has been by far the BEST shopping experience of my life online! I will definitely consider another purchase in the future! Thank you!!! Jennifer Ozark, Alabama

I came to visit the free museum and ended up falling in love with a brown tanzanite I later put on a ring! The store has some beautiful pieces of jewellery and stones. The staff is very kind and patient, and doesn't push you to buy anything but is very helpful if you have an idea in mind and would like to find something suiting you

This small tanzanite museum offered an interesting video and a small replica of a mine. There is of course tanzanite for sale. The selection is a bit small but there are a lot of loose stones if you want to have a piece of jewelry made just for you. They also have unpolished stone pieces made by the Masai women for a reasonable price.

Very friendly, professional, knowledgeable and patient staff - my wife and I spent a lot of time here shopping for amazing Tanzanite - beautiful stones that come from this beautiful country of Tanzania. The store offers a very informative video and in person presentation on how the stones are mined, cut and polished. Fun experience too. Jackline who helped us with our purchases was amazing. Very inspirational person with great taste! Thank you Jackline for helping us with our choices. Definitely recommend visiting whether you want to buy or just get information on Tanzanite.
