Thanks to the magic of John Mann, this beautiful photograph has been made possible. John’s photography with the complexity of this very technical shot is only just surpassed by the beauty of the stones.

What does ethical tanzanite mean to you? |
Friday, 20 September 2013 11:08 |
As news of the rebel forces taking over mines in Tanzania reach our ears first hand, I am soberly reminded in real life what "conflict free" means.
Here are two articles that highlight what illicit tanzanite looks like at the mine level.
http://www.hrw.org/news/2013/08/28/tanzania-hazardous-life-child-gold-miners
http://mg.co.za/multimedia/2013-08-29-child-miners-i-do-it-to-afford-schoolbooks-and-uniforms
To us it means:
Tanzanite sourced without war & conflict
Tanzanite sourced with care for the workers safety & welfare
Tanzanite sourced with government approval
Tanzanite sourced with taxation being paid to the government
Tanzanite sourced with beneficiation to the local people through the Tanzanite Foundation
Tanzanite polished through ethical & responsible factories endorsed by Tanzanite One
If you are at all unsure where your tanzanite is from, look for the "Mark of rarity" Tag. The reassurance that your tanzanite has reached you be ethical means.

****BREAKING NEWS IN ETHICALLY PRODUCED TANZANITE ***** |
Friday, 13 September 2013 12:58 |
“Richland Resources Ltd, the parent company of which Tanzanite One is a subsidiary, today
announces that it has entered into a long-term supply agreement with
Chinese retail jewellery giant to supply ethically produced and polished tanzanite to be marketed
through 2,200+ jewellery stores in Peoples Republic of China”
Bernard Olivier
Chief Executive Officer
This is an important step for the whole of the Tanzanite market, as the international expansion of ethically sourced Tanzanite becomes clearly valued and appreciated above Tanzanite without strong “mine to market” traceability. |
