AFTER ABOUT 5 YEARS IT BECAME ONE OF THE MOST DESIRABLE GEMSTONES FOR JEWELRY USE. ITS PRICES ORIGINALLY WERE ABOUT 1/4 OF SAPPHIRES (PROVING TO BE A GREAT ALTERNATIVE TO THE PRECIOUS GEMSTONE SPECIES). TODAY, IN 2014 THE TANZANITE MINED HAVE BEEN COMPLETELY DEPLETED BUT THE DEMAND FOR THE BEAUTIFUL GEMSTONE IS HIGHER THAN EVER. THIS HAS CAUSED THE PRICE OF TANZANITE (IN AAA QUALITIES OVER 2 CARATS) TO RAISE FROM $50 A CARAT WHOLESALE (IN 1990) TO $1,200 A CARAT WHOLESALE (IN 2014). THE PRICE OF TANZANITE IS PROJECTED TO BREAK $2,000 BY 2020 AND BE OVER $4,000 A CARAT BY 2030, AND THAT IS NOT ACCOUNTING FOR INFLATION EITHER! THE VALUE AND RARITY OF THIS GEMSTONE MAKES IT ONE OF THE BEST GEMSTONES IN THE WORLD FOR INVESTMENT AND RESALE APPLICATIONS....more
