1. There are a number of factors which determine the value of this gem: Colour, Clarity, Carat Weight and Cut. Colour is a primary feature, and a natural (not heat treated) gem will fetch a better price than a treated stone. Clarity: the best value stones are free of inclusions. Weight: generally stones are in the below 1 - 10 carat range. Carat weight affects the price generally as heavier stones will cost more per carat. Cut: this is the least important feature relating to stone value. In the market, tanzanites are found in a variety of shapes and cutting styles. Ovals and cushions are the most common, but rounds are also seen, as are other shapes, including emerald cuts, trillions, etc. Cabochon-cut tanzanites are not often seen. The current price for richly colored tanzanites in the 3 to 5 carat range is approximately $550 to $700 per carat.
