Tsavorite Garnet

Item Description

Tsavorite is a Vanadium bearing Grossular and was discovered over 30 years ago in Kenya. This material along with Demantoid, is the best green Garnet in the world. Typically this material can be a very light mint green or an undesirably dark green, but this particular gem is a very desirable, strong chrome green color. Tsavorite has for many years been a rare, high-in-demand 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 in the last 10 years. This gem is a vibrant "Round Brilliant" cut gem and is certainly good quality. A good chance to own a top quality gem for at a great price. The high retail value on this gem is $600 per carat.
