Tsavorite
gem stone rough in flawless and near-flawless crystals are being

The name "tsavorite" comes from the
Tsavo area of Kenya. It is also found in the bordering country
of Tanzania
and in Toliara (Tuléar) Province, Madagascar.
Tsavorite is a modern, 20th century gemstone.
It was unknown before its
discovery in Kenya in the 1960s.

Until Madagascar Gems began selling
high-grade rough gem stones on the internet, the only way to get good
Madagascar tsavorite was to go there.
It is a member of the garnet group of gems...
grossular (a calcium-aluminum garnet
in which trace amounts of vanadium (or chromium) provide the green color.
The color ranges through the green hues, but the
finest are equal in color to a fine quality emerald.
Though far the less known of the two gems, the higher optical properties
of tsavorite give it much greater brilliance and fire than emerald, making
gems of similar clarity and color much more attractive to some people than
their beryl
counterpart.
Tsavorite is rare, even in Madagascar.
Production (and therefore availability) of this gem is small but
reasonably steady.
Tsavorite gem stone rough prices are based on size of the pieces.
This rough may be ordered by the piece.
Pieces range in weight from less than 0.5 to (very rarely) more than 1 gram.
