Discover the Beauty of Tanzanite

Tsavorite is valuable in jewelry due to its rarity, vibrant green color that can rival emerald, and durability. Here are some key reasons why it is highly prized:

Rich, Vibrant Color: Tsavorite garnet exhibits a striking green hue, often compared to emerald but with more brilliance and fire. Its color ranges from bright yellow-green to deep pure green, making it a desirable alternative to emerald
Rarity: Tsavorite is much rarer than emerald and other green gemstones. It is found mainly in limited deposits in East Africa (Kenya and Tanzania), making high-quality specimens highly sought after.
Exceptional Brilliance: Unlike emeralds, which often have inclusions, tsavorite has fewer internal flaws. It also has a higher refractive index, meaning it sparkles more under light.
Durability: With a hardness of 7 to 7.5 on the Mohs scale (diamond has 10), tsavorite is durable enough for everyday jewelry while being more resistant to damage compared to softer stones like emerald
No Treatments: many emeralds, which are commonly treated with oils or resins to enhance clarity, tsavorite is naturally vibrant and does not require artificial enhancements, making it more valuable to collectors and jewelers.

Because of these qualities, tsavorite is a favorite among gem collectors and jewelry designers who seek a rare, beautiful, and durable green gemstone.
