Additional comments: TSAVORITE is one of the scarcest precious gemtypes known to man. Mined exclusively in Kenya, in the Tsavo region. On the worldwide market Tsavorite in vivid neon greens to AAA+++ vivid dark muzo-greens are not easy to source. Even the most exclusive of jewellers never have more than a few stones of top colour on offer over 1/2ct in size. ( "Tiffany's" in New York first displayed this scarcity in their windows in the 1970's, shorty after the discovery of Tanzanite). Most fine specimens over 1/2ct find their way inevitably to the world's top-end private gem collections. Tsavorites are extremely difficult to obtain over a carat due to fact that this gem type simply does not occur in large crystals. Anything over 3cts is considered to be of museum collection stature.The Kenyan concession holder supplying us with Tsavorite, Tangerine&Mandarin Garnets, as well as Rhodolite, has never had more than a few carats on offer at any one time of top colour Tsavorite. (note: tsavorites of light mint green and pastel shades of yellow-green are far less rare, falling out of the precious category, and are of little interest to collectors.)  The Tsavorite in this auction is of precious category, and possesses a Natural AAA+++ Vivid Emerald-Green colour, making this jewel all the more attractive to top-end collectors, and investors specialising in Tanzanite & Tsavorite..
