Discovered in 1967 by British geologist and gem prospector Campbell Bridges, this gemstone was later named by Tiffany \u0026amp; Co. after the Tsavo National Park in Kenya, which lies near the original major deposits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e🔬 Scientific Properties \u0026amp; Character\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eVibrant Chemistry: Tsavorite’s brilliant, electric green color is driven by trace amounts of vanadium and chromium within its calcium-aluminum chemical structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSuperior Durability: With a rating of 7 to 7.5 on the Mohs hardness scale, tsavorite is significantly tougher and less brittle than emerald, making it far less prone to cracking.Exceptional Brilliance: It has a highly refractive index and a vitreous to adamantine luster. Unlike emeralds, which are routinely treated with oils or resins to hide fractures, tsavorite is completely untreated and 100% natural.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDescription:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis listing includes 1 stone per order*\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e Color\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e: Green\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e Transparency\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eTransparent\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShape\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e Oval\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e 5x3mm\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e Total carat weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e 0.25ct\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e Clarity:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e Eye Clean\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardness:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e6.5-7.5\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e Treatment:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003enone\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e Special considerations\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e: None\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e SKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e 00111594\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e🌍 Extreme Rarity \u0026amp; Origin\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe East African Intersection: Tsavorite is found almost exclusively in a localized, geologically complex stretch of land crossing Kenya and Tanzania.Small Yields: It is notoriously difficult to mine because the crystals form in small \"pockets\" rather than massive veins.
