Tsavorite: History, Origin, Composition, Virtues, Meaning and Recharging of the stone

Tsavorite is a member of the garnet family, which belongs to the silicate family. Its intense green color and lithotherapy properties are highly prized in the world of jewelry. This natural stone is known for its soothing effects on relationships and benevolence.

History of Tsavorite

The name "Tsavorite" is given in reference to the place where it was discovered, in the Tsavo National Park region of Kenya, by Henry Platt, president of Tiffany & Co.

Little is known about this magnificent green Tsavorite stone, which was discovered in 1967 by English geologist Campbell Bridges while working in Tanzania.

Since then, this fine, bright-green stone has grown in popularity and become a highly sought-after gemstone for jewelry.

Origin and composition of Tsavorite

Tsavorite is a member of the garnet family, which belongs to the silicate family. Tsavorite stone is mainly composed of aluminum-calcium silicate, with the chemical formula Ca3Al2(SiO4)3. It has a density of around 3.42 to 3.72.

Tsavorite stone generally forms in subduction zones, in intraplate magmas due to high temperature and pressure and/or in alluvial deposits.

Its color is mainly due to inclusions of vanadium, chromium and iron.

Origin of Tsavorite

The main deposits of Tsavorite are found in Kenya, Tanzania, Madagascar and Canada.

Tsavorite has a hardness of 6.5 to 7.5 on the Mohs scale.

Virtues and meaning of Tsavorite stone

In lithotherapy, Tsavorite is a stone of serenity and openness of heart.

The natural stone Tsavorite in lithotherapy

On a physical level, Tsavorite is renowned for its regenerative and stimulating properties. It accelerates recovery, promotes wound healing, and improves the immune system and general health. This natural stone is also beneficial in lithotherapy, improving blood circulation and protecting against infection.

On the mental level Tsavorite promotes happiness and love relationships, boosts self-confidence and courage, and provides good energy. It helps dispel fears and anxieties, fostering a positive, balanced state of mind. Tsavorite is also known for stimulating fiery passions and personal development. Finally, in lithotherapy, this natural stone pushes away negative emotions to make way for happiness in everyday life.

Please note that lithotherapy is not a substitute for medical treatment or expertise.

Significance of Tsavorite

Tsavorite is a symbol of hope.

Tsavorite is associated with the heart chakra, which promotes benevolence, friendship, love and empathy. In addition, this chakra reinforces positive emotions such as love and amplifies open-mindedness.

Tsavorite is particularly sensitive to the astrological signs of Capricorn and Aquarius. Like garnet, it is also the birthstone of January.
