Tanzanite was the hottest gem at the Tucson gem and mineral shows this year – again. A special reason for the interest? Prices are on the rise. Wholesale prices of tanzanite will rise 25%-45%, predicts Abe Suleman of Tuckman Mines & Minerals, Seattle, Wash. Prices for most fine 3-5-ct. stones range between $260 and $350 per carat, with an upper limit of $400.
