"Please excuse my delay in letting you know I received the tsavorite. The stone was purchased on March 18th and arrived promptly and securely only a few days later. I knew I was pleased with the tsavorite, but wanted to have a second opinion from my local jeweler. I took it to a very high end jeweler here in Southlake, Texas, to be set and appraised. Needless to say, my jeweler was skeptical of my purchasing a gemstone over the internet from an unknown source in Kenya. After they completed their testing and reports, I printed out the quality report, grading report and mining report for comparison. As you can guess, the results were identical. My jeweler was very impressed with the quality of the stone and the thoroughness of the information provided. He agreed completely with your assessment of the cutting, color and clarity. Thank you for offering truly quality material in a very professional manner. This may have been my first experience with your company, but please be assured that it will not be my last."

Tsavorite Prices
Many sites offering Tsavorite today subscribe to the "Volume" approach and offer large quantities of lower grade stones at very low prices. Don't be fooled by this. Lower and medium grade Tsavorite are considerably lower in value than the top grade which we specialise in. If you are looking for a very high quality Tsavorite then our Private Collection is the perfect place to look.
Tsavorite Rarity
Although Tsavorite is not considered by many to be on the verge of extinction as is commonly believed of the Tanzanite, it is and always has been, an exceptionally rare gemstone. Only a small amount of fine Tsavorite crystals are found each year and many of these are small. Good sized 1-2 carat fine stones are difficult to get and the 2+ carat fine Tsavorites are very rare indeed. This is definitely a precious stone of the caliber of which heirlooms are made.
Tsavorite - An ancient gemstone indeed...
Tsavorite is a relatively new gemstone in terms of market exposure but in terms of geological history it is extremely old. The rocks in which it formed were first laid down over 2 billion years ago. The mighty snow capped Mt. Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa, was itself only in its infancy when Tsavorite was already old. What could be more romantic than a superb, flashing green gemstone that was in existence long before the dinosaurs trod the earth?
