You are invited into the auditorium, to sit back and relax while finding out all there is to know about the fascinating, unique and intriguing universe of tanzanite.

See first hand how each tanzanite facet is cut to perfection at the in-house Lapidary to ensure maximum brilliance and beauty.

The Tanzanite Experience - Shanga, Burka Coffee Estate, Arusha

In July 2009 The Tanzanite Experience was proud to announce their collaboration with Shanga by developing a tanzanite retail outlet for support of sustainable community development.

Shanga is a physically challenged and deaf/mute people’s project where homemade beads and jewellery are made by traditional Ghanaian handcraft methods.

Visit The Tanzanite Experience retail outlet at Shanga where the on-site tanzanite expert can facilitate how tanzanite is graded, cut and polished to a finished sparkling gemstone.

A proportion of tanzanite sales are donated back to Shanga!
