1.24 CARAT FLAWLESS LEMON LIME TSAVORITE GARNET.
Only the second Tsavorite I have ever seen in this sensational lemon lime colour, and therefore, one of the rarest gems to ever appear on BoB ! It is flawless (rare) and it's dimensions are: 7.90 x 6.10 x 3.85mm. It is of course, a pear cut. It is somewhat lighter than the image - a true lemon lime. It has sensational fire and sparkle !
In 1967 a British geologist by the name of Campbell R. Bridges was looking for gemstones in the mountains in the north-east of Tanzania. Suddenly he came across some strange, potato-like nodules of rock. It was like a fairy-tale: inside these strange objects he found some beautiful green grains and crystal fragments. A gemmological examination revealed that what he had discovered was green grossularite, a mineral belonging to the colourful gemstone group of the garnet.
What is it that makes the Tsavorite so desirable?The colour range of the Tsavorite includes a springlike light green, an intense blue-green and a deep forest green - colours which have a refreshing and invigorating effect on the senses. However, this gemstone is also valuable on account of its great brilliance. It has, like all the other garnets, a particularly high refractive index (1.734/44).
