QUEENSLAND, AUSTRALIA, February 16, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- "Tanzanite demand is on the rise with emerging markets such as China are very interested in purchasing this stone. At the same time, production of investment quality stones has decreased which is driving the value of the stones up, creating a fantastic investment opportunity," says Mr Ross Sedawie from TreasureGems.
The last few years after the global financial crisis have been uncertain for everyone. Riots and occupy wall street demonstrations have been occurring in Europe, USA and even Asia. All this worry about government debt and the value of money has led citizens around the globe to reconsider what is safe and reliable. These thoughts have lead our generation to rediscover what our grandparents knew and that is how to protect themselves from the actions of government. Our forefathers knew that gold and other precious metals were the best hedge against rampant government spending. We have seen the situations our customers face and understand their need to protect and hedge themselves from actions out of their control. Our company has been in the precious metals/gemstones business since 1992 and we practice what we preach with most of our wealth kept safe in precious metals and gemstones. We aim to be a trusted partner in these times of uncertainty and have seen sales increase 30% year on year with in excess of $10 million dollars sold online. Gold and silver are and continue to be great hedges but we believe people should also consider other rare gemstones such as opals, rubies, sapphires and emeralds that have received less investor attention. After all at the end of the day it is also a good investment in keeping your partner happy and that is one thing in these times you can be certain of.
Purchasing Tanzanite as an investment stone is a logical and sound decision. Tanzanite is found in only one place on earth (Tanzania) and the supply of this stone is estimated to only last for approximately another 10 years. It is clear that with rapidly growing demand, especially from China where Tanzanite is a highly sought after stone, and supply shrinking, simple economic theory dictates that Tanzanite prices will increase substantially.
There are other gemstones with a similar history from which we can draw parallels. Paraiba Tourmaline, for example, found in the late 1980s in Brazil, was mined out by mid 1990's and can now cost as much as US$20,000 per carat.
