Tanzanite Rework

[Jagdpanther]

I have some Tanzanite stones that came out of a tennis bracelet. The top facets are scratched up due to wear and tear. Can these stones be refaceted (not sure if that is the correct term) or polished??

Thanks

Try finding a lapidary, gemologist, rockhound club or gem club in your area. They should be able determine the best course of action. It depends on how deep the scratches are. Something should be able to be done to save the stones. Good luck to you!

Tanzanite is one of my favorite stones! I don't have any at this time. You may consider sending a PM to JEWELERDAVE. He is very knowledgeable. Thanks, RuffandTuff.

the surface scratches should be repairable. Are those natural or lab created stones?

They better be natural! I bought the bracelet from a major jewelery retailer about 12 years ago.

A lapidarist should have no problem recutting those at all
