About us
Acacia Gems sells high quality gemstones at unbeatable prices because we buy our gemstones directly from the mines in Africa.
We specialise in Tanzanite, which is a stunning violet-blue gemstone with a fine hint of purple. This exquisite gem is only found in one location on Earth - 40 kilometres from the base of Mount Kilimanjaro in a small place called Merelani. Geologists are now estimating that the supply of Tanzanite could be depleted in just 15 years. So many customers worldwide are not only purchasing this stone for its beauty but also as a financial investment for their future and their children's future.
Acacia Gems is run by Rumishael and Robyn Masanga. Rumishael is a native Tanzanian, who previously led a team mining Tanzanite in Merelani. This experience makes him an expert in choosing quality gemstones; and because he personally purchases the gemstones in Tanzania, we guarantee the quality of the gemstones we sell.
Rumishael is also fully aware of the issues the miners and their community face. As a company, Acacia Gems is committed to conducting our business with ethical and fair practices, ensuring that the local people benefit from, and are not harmed by, our business transactions.
As jewellery customers around the world become increasingly concerned about the origin of the gemstones they buy, it is reassuring to know the source of all Tanzanite is located in the united, peaceful and democratic nation of Tanzania.
As a Kiwi and a Tanzanian we are excited to be bringing one of Tanzania's national treasures to the Pacific.
We guarantee gorgeous, quality Tanzanite gemstones at fantastic prices because we personally choose our gemstones from the mines in Merelani, Tanzania and sell them directly to you.
