Discover Mirerani: The Heart of Tanzanite

Mirerani is a vibrant town known globally as the only source of Tanzanite, a rare blue-violet gemstone. While the mines drive the local economy, the work is unpredictable, leaving many families waiting months for income.

Despite these challenges, the community is full of strength, hope, and resilience. BlueTanzanite exists to support the children of these hardworking families, ensuring they have a stable foundation for the future.
