I enjoyed learning about the diamond mining history and the process for cutting a diamond. Best to go during the week when you can see the gemologists working on these beautiful stones.

Very enjoyable experience buying a piece with assistance from Carmen. Lovely store and very attentive staff. I would recommend Shimansky for anyone with high standards for Tanzanite or Tsavorite.

What an amazing tour! Tanya was an awesome guide and taught us so much about the local diamond industry and its history. The diamonds on display are magnificent.
