Tanzania is rich in precious gems, not least of which is the exquisite blue Tanzanite that is found nowhere else in the world. Another treasure is the Tanzanian Ruby – a glowing red stone of rare appeal. Mererani Tanzanite Mines Located in the Merelani Hills in the Manyara Region of northern Tanzania, 70 km (43 mi) south of Arusha, the Mererani Tanzanite Mines are where the blue Tanzanite was first discovered in 1968, and are still mined both by local and large mine operators today

Ce fut une expérience extraordinaire pour moi, qui aime les minéraux et les pierres précieuses. C’est aussi un privilège, car il n’y que très peu de place pour pouvoir accéder à cette mine de tanzanite de Mererani en Tanzanie. Après avoir passé de multiples sécurités, j’ai trouvé des gens d’une grande gentillesse qui m’ont fait visiter cette mine au milieu de nul part. J’ai même eu la chance de descendre dans un wagonnet servant à la remontée des roches extraites dans les profondeurs : le top ! Merci à toutes ces personnes qui m’ont entourées pour ce périple hors du commun.

Getting to the Tanzanite mines, is an Indiana Jones experience. The mines were an educational and one of my highlights of Tanzania. The guides were helpful and provided a great African homemade meal. My only glitch was the paperwork required to get entry, was inadequate, and we had to get additional entry documentation. If you like something different, and adventurous, I highly recommend this experience.
