Can tanzanite be faked?

1 Answer
Can tanzanite be faked?
Yes, tanzanite can be faked. Some stones that might be substituted for tanzanite include cubic zirconia, synthetic spinels and yttrium aluminum garnets. Replicas may also feature colored glass. A certified appraiser or experienced jeweler can help you determine the authenticity of a stone. On 1stDibs, shop an assortment of tanzanite jewelry.
