Nicknamed "the King of Garnets
, " green tsavorite is a calcium-aluminum mineral and part of the grossularite branch of the garnet group. Tsavorite gains color from traces of chromium and vanadium oxide in the stone. Henry Platt christened the gem after Tsavo National Park in Kenya.
Its gorgeous green shades can be a crisp green, vivid bluish-green or intense forest-green.
Decades after its discovery, tsavorite is considered one of the world's most prized and sought-after gems. Like demantoid garnet there is a shortage of tsavorite garnet, and, therefore, it is hard to find.
