Join me, Robert Gessner, founder of Gessner Gems, as I take you on a very rare journey into depths of a Tanzanite Mine. The operators and owners of largest and centre-most Block C, TanzaniteOne/STAMICO, operate this shaft, Main Shaft. This shaft lies in the centre of tanzanite deposit, and as you see, takes 5 minutes in the skip to get to the bottom of the shaft and to the deepest areas currently being mined. I have spent 8 years of my life working in this deposit and this mine learning about the fascinating geology of this gemstone. Just see how much work, science and cost goes into this colored gemstone mine.
