Tsavorite is a variety of the garnet family, specifically a green grossular garnet. Its color ranges from a vivid green to an intense greenish-blue.  Tsavorite was first discovered in the 1960s in Tanzania and was later found in Kenya.  Due to its scarcity, it is considered one of the rarest and most valuable garnets.

Tsavorite is relatively durable with a hardness of 7 to 7.5 on the Mohs scale. This makes it suitable for various types of jewelry, though care should be taken to avoid exposure to extreme heat or harsh chemicals.

Tsavorite is associated with prosperity, abundance, and vitality. Some consider it a stone of growth and regeneration, both in the physical and spiritual sense.
