Tanzania is among the most beautiful countries in the world with lots of natural resources such as Wildlife, Mountains, Ocean/beaches, Minerals . On this tour we will get to explore The Mererani Tanzanite mines or Mererani gem mining area is an area 2 km wide and 50 km long. It is located in the Merelani Hills, on the slopes of the Lelatema Mountains, about 70 km southeast of the town of Arusha, where Tanzanite was reportedly/allegedly first found in 1968. The Gem quality Tanzanite and grossular have been found to occur mainly in boudinaged pegmatitic veins and hydrothermal fracture fillings. These fracture fillings occur in brecciated and hydrothermally altered graphite-bearing gneiss in a mineral association containing glass-clear quartz, diopside, zoisite, graphite and calcite.
