Tsavorite is a rare and highly sought-after green gemstone, belonging to the garnet family (specifically grossular garnet). It is considered one of the most vibrant and durable green gemstones in the world.

Origin and Name
Tsavorite was discovered in the 1960s in East Africa, near the Tsavo National Park in Kenya — which is how it received its name. The gemstone was first introduced to the global market by Tiffany & Co. in the 1970s.

Key Characteristics
• Color: Ranges from fresh, bright green to deep, rich forest green
