Abstract

• The Tanzanian government built a wall around tanzanite mines to control smuggling. • Formalization in artisanal tanzanite production had negative impacts on production. • Formalization has prioritized revenue collection over other strategies. • Resource nationalist policies targeting large scale mining also affect artisanal mining. • The future of tanzanite production, and current prevalence of smuggling, is unclear.
