Discovered in 1967 by the now legendary Scottish geologist, Campbell R. Bridges, tsavorite has quickly found favor as a precious colored gem of choice. Showing high transparency, stunning luster and beautiful green colors, only a handful of mines in Kenya, Tanzania and Madagascar produce this hard to find gem. Production is highly unpredictable with large specimens seldom being recovered. With rarity, stunning colors and captivating beauty, tsavorite is a truly special jewel.
