This is a fairly new find of Chromium Colored Green Garnet coming from Kunar, Afghanistan. OK Folks, we have NOT tested this; however, we are 99.9% sure it is the Afghan equivalent of Tsavorite! We have been hunting this material down for probably close to 6 years with little luck; however, over the course of the last year we have managed to procure 2 parcels, this being the second and considerably larger than the first. The bulk of this material is very clean and we estimate that the lot is running roughly 65%+ High Facet Grade; however, this material is Melee averaging in around .25 carats and only ideally suited for Commercial Cutting.

This material was purchased at a steal and that is the reason we can offer it at $2.00 Per gram! We are confident that our price will NOT be beaten as material running from about .5 to 1 or so carats is running close to $10K+ for Tsavorite IN Tanzania! The material in this lot is uniform and most is in the .15-.35 carat range with a few pieces that go over up to about 1 or so carats though there are only a few of those. Overall the material is comparable to African material as it is not available in crystals; however, many stones do show a dull etched exterior that looks to be natural. We don't really anticipate seeing much of this for the foreseeable future so we advise grabbing this as quick as you can! We are confident that for the price we have on this you could probably sell it in Africa for Profit!!

1. We have been hunting down Green Garnet in the area for several years now. We have managed to trace much of it back to Kunar, Afghanistan; however, the sizes tend to be small getting up to maybe about 2 or so carats at the largest end though the material is usually sub-carat for the most part. The material is Chromium Colored and ranges in color from a Mint Green to an almost super Emerald Green. The material is also typically very clean and rarely seen in crystal form.
