Howard Ratners of the world, take note: A Tanzanian miner has sold an ultra-rara gem called Tanzanite for $2 million.the BBC that its supply might be totally depleted within 20 years. And it seems like Saniniu Laizer, a local miner, is probably going to find most of it: Back in June, Laizer sold two hunks of Tanzanite weighing around 20 pounds and 13 pounds, thus becoming a millionaire. The rock he sold for $2 million this week weighed around 14 pounds.
Laizer, a father of 30, told the network he planned to have a party to celebrate his initial June sales of the gems. Now that he’s done that, he said he’ll use his newfound wealth to build a school and health facility in his community: He told the BBC two months ago that the windfall would not change his lifestyle, and that he planned to continue looking after his 2,000 cows, adding that he did not need to take any extra precautions despite his new-found riches.Illegal mining is a major problem in Tanzania, and in 2017, President John Magufuli had a 14 mile wall built around a mining site that at the time was believed to be the world’s only Tanzanite source.
