Natural tsavorite garnet from the Merelani Hills of Tanzania, one of the world’s most important sources of gem-quality tsavorite. This untreated specimen features a vivid green crystal preserved on its original matrix, combining attractive natural colour with well-defined crystal faces and the contrasting textures of its host rock.

Most tsavorite is cut into faceted gemstones, making natural crystals like this far less commonly encountered. Left exactly as it formed, this specimen retains its original crystal habit and natural appearance, making it an excellent choice for mineral collectors, or anyone looking for a genuine untreated tsavorite from this world-renowned locality.
