A green tsavorite garnet is a stunning and rare gemstone that is a variety of grossular garnet, distinguished by its vivid green hue. On the Mohs scale of mineral hardness, tsavorite garnet ranks between 7 and 7.5, making it relatively durable and suitable for everyday jewellery. Its popularity stems from its intense, vibrant colour, which rivals that of emeralds, yet it is more affordable and lacks the inclusions commonly found in emeralds. Tsavorite is also highly prized for its excellent clarity, refractive index, and brilliance, which result in a sparkling and eye-catching appearance. Although garnet is not associated with a specific birthstone month, garnet itself is the birthstone for January, symbolizing friendship and trust. The green tsavorite garnet, with its exceptional color and durability, is favoured by jewellers and collectors alike for its unique beauty and rarity.
