What's Some History Behind the Gem?
This green garnet was discovered in 1967 by British geologist Campbell Bridges in the bush along the frontier between Kenya and Tanzania, where he found potato-shaped stones containing beautiful green crystals. Tsavorite garnet is 'named' after its discovery near the famous Tsavo National Park in Kenya. Tsavorite is only discovered in these two countries, though the most important deposits are the ones in Kenya.
What are the properties of Tsavorite Garnet?
The colors of Tsavorite Garnet range from pale green to deep forest green and can sometimes rival high-quality emeralds. With a hardness of 6.5-7.5 on the Mohs scale, Tsavorite Garnet causes no problems at cutting, setting and wearing. It is well suited for "invisible settings" where stones are set firmly joined. Due to its high brilliance, tsavorite garnet gets mostly a facet cut. Large specimens of this stone are rare. It's a beautiful stone for small, discreet rings or any other piece of fine jewelry.
What Designs Will be Appropriate for Tsavorite Garnet?
Rings seem to be an excellent choice for Tsavorite Garnet as the color is brilliant and demands attention thus making it an exceptional jewel to wear on the hand. Tsavorite Garnet earrings are a runner-up with pendants coming in closely after.

It was easy to find the kind of stone I was looking for in the price range I preferred.

I love collecting Gems and Gemselect is my go to place to get them. I have never been dissatisfied with any of my orders. I also love the information that they give for each gem.
I was looking for gemstones to use for making jewelry for birthday gifts. It was east to find what i needed with the birthstone information and quick and easy to locate gems. Ive never bought gems from anywhere else. This is a good site
I fell in love with my beautiful blue turquoise stone. When I received the stone it is more beautiful than the picture showed. I can hardly wait to design my pendant!)
I was looking for a gemstone called Sphene/Titanite and found it on GemSelect. They had many gems to choose from and had good prices. I received my order a little later than expected but given that it's coming from overseas I wasn't too worried. The 2 gems I received are beautiful. I have to say that I have no gem knowledge- I am a novice and I ordered the Sphene for healing purposes, so I am hoping they are real. I have no way of confirming if that is true. But they are beautiful!
I have ordered many many gems over the years from them and I am always VERY happy!! And if I wasn't they do accept returns which is a great peace of mind.
