TSAVORITE & DEMANTOID GARNET
Garnet is the gemstone for January.
Garnet is a gemstone with many colors and varieties.
Tsavorite
Brilliant
green Tsavorite garnet is a rather young gemstone. It is found in
the
bushland along the
frontier between Kenya and Tanzania. It was discovered in 1967 by
the British geologist Campbell R. Brides in the northeastern part of
Tanzania. It is a green grossular garnet with a index of 7
1/2 on the mohs scale of hardness. Besides being hard, it is a very
tough gemstone making it very wearable for jewelry. Tsavorite is a
brilliant
gemstone with a refractive index of 1.734/44. Contrary to most other
gemstones, tsavorite as well as the other garnets are not treated with
oil or heated to improve their appearance. Tsavorites are rare
gemstones and stones over two carats can be quite valuable.

DEMANTOID
The demantoid is one of the most
brilliant gemstones that exist, but not commonly known. Like the
tsavorite it is a green garnet of the highest quality. The
demantoid is an andradite garnet with an incredible refractive index of
1.880-1.889. The hardness of this gemstone is just under 7 on the
mohs scale making it suitable for use in todays jewelry. This
gemstone is hard to find and valuable with stones over two carats
extremely rare. The color ranges from a yellowish green to a
brownish green with the darker emerald green extremely rare. It
was discovered in the Ural Mountains of Russia in 1868 and more
recently in Namibia. To view our loose
