The Tanzanite experience office is upstairs and a locked showroom that I believe your guide can get you into. First they set you down and show you a video which you can see now on YouTube and I do believe they are much cheaper and you can ask for a better price after they give you the price and they should takeoff a few hundred dollars. The cultural heritage center they might take you to. Also in Arusha would be much more expensive and they sell mostly loose stones. You can buy beautiful, set stones as well as loose stones at the Tanzanite experience. Maasai, jewelry and clothing, and or fabrics can be purchased, if you are going to a Maasai village, very reasonably, I don’t know your itinerary so I don’t know where you will be. if you’d like to phone me my phone number is area code 818-383-7988.
