Tsavorite is a great choice! A beautiful gem. Many people may mistake it for a stunning emerald, but you will know it is far rarer than that. It is the rarest of garnets and a gemstone fit for a queen. You can opt for a tsavorite engagement ring.

Yes, Merelani Mint garnet and Tsavorite garnet are both green garnets from the same location in Tanzania, but they have slight differences in color tone and hue. Merelani Mint garnet tends to have a slightly lighter, mintier green color compared to the more vivid and intense green of Tsavorite garnet.

Tsavorite is a type of garnet that is green in color. One can purchase a high-quality tsavorite gemstone from a jeweller or gem company. One should bear in mind the color, cut and clarity of the gemstone when purchasing.

Some green semiprecious stones are:

Emerald

Oro Verde

Tsavorite

Malachite

andesine, Alexandrite, tsavorite, Garnet, Sapphire & Spinel. they change their color under torch light (yellow).

Gemstones can be found in various regions in Kenya, including Taita Taveta, Tsavo, and Turkana. Some popular gemstones found in these areas include tsavorite, ruby, and garnet. Mining activities are carried out by both small-scale miners and large mining companies.

It's just a name assigned to this color stone from Jewelry Television (JTV) with their trademark on it. They used to call it green tanzanite and claimed that it was a cross between tsavorite and tanzanite and now they are saying that they don't know what causes this color. Their are green tanzanites and even pink tanzanites but JTV calls them all ocean tanzanite.

I'll name all the ones I know:

Precious:

Diamond, Ruby/Sapphire, Emerald, Alexandrite*, Pearl

Semi-Precious:
Aquamarine, Amethyst, Beryl, Opal, Nephrite/Jade, Lapis Lazuli, Carnelian, Moonstone, Zirconium, Spinel, Garnet, Peridot, Tourmaline, Topaz, Titanite/Sphene, Emery (Black Sapphire), Onyx, Amber, Chrysoberyl,


Some fit into both categories:

Black Opal, Demantoid Garnet, Tanzanite, Tsavorite Garnet , Turquoise, Agate

*Technically, Alexandrite can fit in both categories but it is worth up to $100,000USD per carat making it more valuable than all the traditional "precious" stones so I put it up with them.

This is by no means all, I hope someone will add to this, there are so many types.

Garnet, the birthstone of January, is mined in a rainbow of colors. From the fiery orange of Mandarin Garnet to the rich green of Tsavorite Garnet and to the most widely recognized color of Pyrope Garnet, it is considered a great gift to symbolize friendship and trust.

Garnet is typically a dark red color. To create garnet, mix a deep red with a touch of purple or brown for richness and depth. You can try mixing red, maroon, and a hint of black to achieve a garnet-like hue.

There is no well-known gemstone called myrtle. Myrtle is known as a small evergreen shrub with fragrant white or pink flowers and dark green leaves. It is often used in landscaping and for its medicinal properties.

Diamonds, Rubies, Emeralds, Opal, and Sapphires are some gemstones that come to mind when we think of jewels. At a quick glance I can count more than 130 gemstones in my reference book. Gemstones are broken down by the scientific community into 10 specific mineral classes. To keep this simple, we will use the common terms for gemstones of precious, semiprecious, organic, and exotic. The following list is not all-inclusive, but is a good start.

PRECIOUS gemstones are: diamond, sapphire, ruby, and emerald.
