[QUOTE="SneakyCuttlefish, post: 317512, member: 3340"] Easily the most beautiful green gem in the world. This is my number 1 favourite stone of them all. In my opinion it makes emeralds look like polished beer bottle glass. Tsavorite garnet is significantly rarer than emeralds and more durable as a jewellery stone because most of the time they have fewer inclusions/flaws. The colour is in a league of its own and can't be compared to any other stone. It also has a much higher brilliance than emeralds. This one is very deep for its size which lends an intense high quality dark green. Personally I prefer a shade or two lighter, shows of the brilliance better. Best thing about tsavorite, its cheap! Well..... compared to emeralds anyway..... 1.43 carat and eye clean. This picture robs so much beauty from this stone I am almost embarrassed to post it. But its the best I can manage with an Ijoke 7. [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/3340/1490085576_img_3704.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
