Tsavorite Garnet

Item Description

Tsavorite is a vanadium bearing Grossular and was discovered over 40 years ago in Kenya. This gem material along with Demantoid is the best green colored Garnet in the world. Typically this material can range from a very light mint green or an undesirably dark green, but this particular gem is a rich, desirable, saturated, intense emerald green color. Tsavorite has for many years been a rare, high-in-demand, attractive gemstone in the retail market, and thus commands a high price due its rarity and beauty. Keep in mind that the top quality Tsavorite in the world only comes from one area and the supply has certainly been dwindling for years. This gem has a wonderful "Emerald" cut, and almost looks like an emerald due to its deep color. We have recently seen top material selling at retail prices for over $2,500 per carat, so keep that in mind when bidding.
