I actually like the really nice pale spring green stones, they look like they're glowing, like the fluorescent pigments of a photosynthetic microbe. It's truly an exceptional color you only find in garnet, not emerald, not peridot, not tourmaline. The dark green ones are meh
The rarest green gems in order are; 1. Green Diamond 2. Imperial Jadeite 3. Alexandrite 4. Demantoid Garnet 5. Tsavorite 6. Emerald Extraterrestial Peridots are rarer than the above mentioned except for green diamonds.
Peach and pinkish orange colored tourmaline will change color to pink-red if exposed with white light from RGB LED, it must be white light from RGB LED, other white led cannot.
Hi, can you show us which aristocracies, royalties, heroes, gods, legends, and other cultural histories have used Tsavorite like those that have used and venerated Emeralds? Thought not... Tsavorite is just a garnet for heaven's sake. When you see a quality Emerald, you see a piece of human history, a thousand stories from the Maya, Aztec, Inca, Toltec, Olmec, Hindus, Ancient Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans, every royal family since, the Bible, the Quran, the Torah, and on and on... come back in 5000 years maybe.
Hello, this is because the Tsavorite was discovered very recently that it is not well known, precisely in 1967. So it wasn't used for any of this. But it's value is increasing, people are starting to recognize it as a better gem than Emerald, it's just hard to overshadow a gemstone that's been used since centuries.
That laser inscription is something that all should be doing that source, sell and cut stones. That way the purchaser can always identify their gem and for posterity sake as many precious and semi precious stones are handed down through generations. 100yrs from now people will still be able to trace these gems and know where or what (mine\ geographically)they originated and that is something special
Hello lapigems, I'm ken from Kenya and I got some kind of this rocks, they are multicoloured and hexagonal, hw can I possibly send you or drop you the samples for analysis?
Kagunda has been mining Tsavorite for at least 30 years. He is an old rogue and still owes me money. He's very charming - but don't invest in his business!
