RARE AFRICAN GEMSTONES
Tanzanite
In the easternmost reaches of Africa lies Tanzania, home to the magnificent Serengeti and the majestic Mount Kilimanjaro. It was here that one of the century’s most remarkable gemstones was discovered.
Tanzanite, a precious blue-violet gemstone so rare that it is found exclusively in a small area only a few kilometres long, quickly became one of the most sought-after coloured gemstones in the world. Due to its delicate nature, Tanzanite has to be carefully mined by hand to preserve the precious supply that the earth has given us. Known for its pleochroic properties, this gemstone radiates a mesmerising array of hues, making it one of nature’s most stunning wonders.

What Our Clients Say
Posted on Marta Van HeerdenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The experience with Mark Salomon was amazing from the moment we stepped into the shop, to the moment we’ve collected our hand written (!) diamond certificates. The advice and customer service we received was exceptional. The ladies in the shop were helpful, calm and read our needs and expectations perfectly. I could not recommend Mark Salomon Jeweller/gemologist enough and we’ll be back there for further purchases in the future.

Going to highly recommend to many!Posted on Melina GeorgeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Walked by this shop a few times and decided to go in to see their selection of jewelry. I like to buy small pieces on different trips and I was looking for a bracelet for myself. Ingrid was a fabulous salesperson, helped me by showing me everything she had that I was describing, assisting me to try on anything that caught my eye. I ended up with a beautiful dainty chain bracelet with a few small diamonds. I really appreciated that she tried to keep me within my budget! The shop gave me everything I needed packaged nicely for the tax free forms at the airport - which will be a breeze given the documentation package they provided me. Overall really pleased with this place and will be back on my next trip to Cape Town!!!
