Tanzanite
Tanzanite is a blue to violet gemstone that is a variety of the mineral zoisite. Tanzanite is found exclusively in a very small area of northern Tanzania, near the Mererani (or Merelani) Hills in the Simanjiro District of the Manyara Region. The most prized tanzanite stones exhibit a deep, vibrant blue or violet color. Tanzanite is renowned for its stunning blue and violet hues, but it can exhibit a range of colors due to its pleochroic nature, which means it can show different colors when viewed from different angles.
Gemstones
West Asia is geologically diverse, with a wide range of rock formations, mineral deposits, and tectonic activities. The Middle East, particularly Iran, is known for producing some of the world's finest turquoise gemstones. Look for well-known and reputable gemstone retailers, either online or physical stores, that specialize in selling gemstones. The color of a ruby is one of the most important factors in determining its quality and suitability for jewelry. Color is one of the most important factors in determining the value of emeralds.
Tanzanite trade in Somalia
Somalia’s economy is largely based on agriculture, livestock, remittances, and a growing informal sector. Despite the challenges posed by decades of political instability, civil war, and limited infrastructure, Somalia has maintained a degree of resilience through informal trade networks and the support of its diaspora. Livestock, particularly cattle, sheep, and camels, forms the backbone of the economy, with the country being a major supplier of animals to the Middle East. Agriculture, especially the cultivation of bananas, sugarcane, and sorghum, is also a key sector, though it has faced challenges due to recurring droughts and lack of modern farming techniques.
