Tsavorite is a nesosilicate of the sodium aluminous garnet family: grossular rich in vanadium and chromium. Its name comes from Tsavo National Park in Kenya.
Tsavorite is used in jewelry for its green color. It is a rare stone, even more so as its weight increases. It is also expensive and the main reasons for its success are as follows: it is very hard; relative to emerald, it contains few inclusions, is less expensive than it for equivalent weight and color; it does not require treatments (heating, oiling etc.); its refractive index is high; and its color is one of those sought after.
It is found in contact metamorphic rocks, in pegmatites, in igneous rocks, and in alluvium.
