Tanzanite is so incredibly rare that
experts believe the worlds entire supply
of it will be depleted within the next 10 to
15 years. Thats because the worlds
entire supply of it exists in a single patch
of earth, measuring approximately 4
square kilometers. It is found only in
Northern Tanzania in the foothills of
Mount Kilimanjaro. Furthermore, the
conditions that created the deposit of
rare stone on the foot of that great
volcano are so geologically unique, most
geologists agree the odds of another
batch being created arent hopeful: about
Tanzanite a million to one.
