“ I received my Tanzanite this afternoon. All I can do is stare at and think, Oh my God! This is by far, the most beautiful Tanzanite I have ever seen. It tops all of the stones in my collection. I can't thank you enough for the customer service that Lapigems offers. You are truly a wonderful company to deal with. A real personal touch for the internet. You can be assured that any future Tanzanite purchases I make will be with you. The packaging was an added plus, made opening it even more exciting. Again, thank you for all of your assistance.”
Are you looking for the very top grade in Tanzanite - the top 1%, the exceptional pieces? Have you been shopping around your local jewelry stores and found that none stock the color you have been dreaming of? Or if they do have AAA Tanzanite color the price is prohibitive? Then you have found the right place. We are one of the largest dealers in Tanzanite at the source. We buy, cut and sell thousands of carats of Tanzanite monthly, however, only the very best of these are selected out and offered on our site. We are exceptionally selective in this regard and only true AAA stones are for sale here (some sites term this grade AAAA). Many sites proclaim to offer AAA Tanzanite but in reality deal in lower colors. Our stones have the very top depth of color possible and we are very selective in offering only the very top grade of Tanzanite. If you are looking for the highest grade in Tanzanite we are the specialists.
Finest Quality Tanzanite
So rare that in the next generation, the only way to possess Tanzanite will be to inherit it.
Tanzanite is one of the world's rarest gems. There is only 1 source in the world for Tanzanite. This source is almost mined out and there is growing speculation that Tanzanite is about to become extinct. The top quality Tanzanite AAA colored stones, always difficult to get, traditionally constituting only 1% of all production, are now becoming exceptionally scarce. Now is the time to invest in AAA Tanzanite! The time for Tanzanite has come and certainly Henry Platt, ex president and chairman of Tiffany & Company thought so when he said "Tanzanite is the most important gemstone discovery in over 2000 years." Tanzanite's unique position in the gem kingdom, with only one source in the world, means that once it is mined out, those who own top grade stones will be in an enviable position and Tanzanite will be the quintessential heirloom of our generation.
Tanzanite as a birthstone
Tanzanite is the foremost December birthstone and is now being marketed by Tanzanite One as the stone to have at the birth of your first child. These attributes have contributed to making Tanzanite a jeweler's favorite and every bit as mainstream a precious stone as Diamond, Emerald, Sapphire and Ruby.
