Green Tsavorite - 2.16 ct - International Gemological Institute (IGI)

Tsavorite is a rare and vibrant green garnet known for its brilliant color and excellent clarity. The 2.16-carat tsavorite featured here is certified by the International Gemological Institute (IGI), affirming its authenticity and quality. Tsavorite garnets belong to the grossular garnet family and are prized for their striking emerald-green hues that rival those of emeralds but often with superior clarity and brilliance. Discovered in East Africa, particularly Kenya and Tanzania, tsavorite has grown in popularity since the late 20th century as a desirable alternative to more traditional green gemstones. Unlike many emeralds, tsavorite typically does not require treatments and is prized for its natural, vibrant green color. Its durability with a Mohs hardness of about 7 to 7.5 makes it suitable for daily jewelry wear. Collectors and jewelers alike value tsavorite for its rarity, beauty, and resilience.
