A lovely Tanzanian sunstone cabochon with great shiller .
In 2000 a young Masai warrior from the Kenya and Tanzania border region discovered a sunstone deposit near Arusha in northern Tanzania. The large flakes of bright red and orange hematite in the stone mirror the brightly colored garments worn by the semi-nomadic Masai tribe.
Unfortunately supply of this stone has dried up and Tanzania now holds only a minor reserve on this gem.
