The best way to test your tanzanite is to purchase a tanzanite filter kit. This kit will contain the tools (tanzanite filter, dichroscope, etc...) and instructions for testing your tanzanite for authenticity.

Most likely you'd have to take it to a jeweler or someone who specializes in gemstones. Keep in mind that untreated or heated gemstones are often a very different color from ones that are treated. Certain stones are often treated to bring out a stronger color. Any good jeweler should be able to tell you what you have.
