Tsavorite is a calcium-aluminum or grossular species of garnet that gets its green hues, ranging from light to dark tones, from the traces of chromium and vanadium elements. It is one of the rarest as well as the most desirable & valuable garnet variants. Tsavorite gemstone was discovered in 1967 by Campbell R. Bridges, a British gemologist, in Tanzania and later in 1971 in Kenya. Later, small deposits of tsavorite stone were discovered in other parts of the world as well.
Gem-quality green tsavorite garnet stones are rare in occurrence with major deposits in Manyara in Tanzania and Toliara in Madagascar. Pakistan and Antarctica’s Queen Maud Land have also contributed to small occurrences of gem-quality tsavorite stones. Other fascinating facts about tsavorite gemstones are that they are not subjected to any form of artificial treatment and have not been produced in labs so far. It means there exist only natural and untreated varieties of these gemstones.
Tsavorite stones have extraordinary brilliance due to their fabulous dispersion abilities, making them affordable alternatives to priceless emeralds. Stones that exhibit a rich green color that resonates with the vibrant green hues of emeralds command the maximum price.
Tsavorite gemstone is associated with vitality, prosperity, regeneration and strength. Wearing this gemstone promotes emotional healing and the feelings of cooperation & compassion in the wearer. Since garnet is the official January birthstone, it’s perfectly acceptable for January-borns to wear a green tsavorite garnet stone in any form of jewelry, whether it is a tsavorite garnet ring or a tsavorite necklace. 25th wedding anniversary celebration can also be made a memorable affair with tsavorite jewelry.
With a hardness score between 7 and 7.5 on the 10-point Mohs hardness scale, these stones are used in a variety of jewels such as a tsavorite ring or tsavorite earrings which are suitable for complementing your formal as well as informal wardrobe on any occasion. However, if you are planning to get a tsavorite engagement ring then you must be cautious of violent knocks or hard scratches affecting your tsavorite stone. To ensure proper care, clean your tsavorite jewelry with an extremely mild soap solution instead of using any harsh chemicals and also avoid cleaning with ultrasonic or steam cleaners.
