Is Tanzanite Going Up in Value?
The price of high quality material has started to rise as the Tanzanian government attempts to stop smuggling out of the mining area and the country.

Much of the rough was exported into neighboring Kenya (to avoid taxation) and exported mostly to India for cutting. With disruption of normal channels we expect the price of tanzanite to continue to rise.
