It has finally happened, be very careful of what you are buying on the internet, word has just come to me that China has perfected a new stone that looks just like tanzanite, it has made it's way into the market place in small amounts but none the less it is out there. Without testing the stone you would never know! I would again suggest that you spend the 100.00 and get a refractometer if you collect tanzanite, this stone is not grown from the real crystal so it will not meter as tanzanite at 1.69 and 1.70.

I will update this news as I get more details but this is going to create a huge issue in the market place.

Stay safe!
