Green Tsavorite gemstone pear-shaped jewelry

Origin:

Tsavorite is a green variety of grossular garnet and belongs to the garnet mineral family. It was first discovered in the 1970s in Tanzania, specifically in the Kilimanjaro region. Tsavorite owes its name to Tsavo National Park, which is located in Kenya and Tanzania.

Special features:

Tsavorite is characterized by its intense, vibrant green color, often comparable to that of emeralds. It has high light refraction and remarkable clarity, making many specimens virtually inclusion-free. Tsavorite is known for its vibrant and rich green tones, which can range from light yellow-green to deep forest green. These colors are caused by the presence of chromium and vanadium in its chemical structure.
