Stone tsavorite is a unique gem of its kind. This mineral of saturated emerald color is mined in only one place on our planet. And this is the northwest of Kenya. He is very rare and beautiful.
And they say that he has a whole host of magical and healing properties. Which ones? This should be described in more detail, but first, a little about the stone itself.
Mineral Features
The tsavorite can easily be confused with an emerald. Only he has a different light-refracting ability, and he is also less solid. It should also be noted that it has a low defectiveness, and therefore the strength is higher.
Stone tsavorite is often called Kenyan emerald and green pomegranate. It has a very wide range of colors. The color of this mineral varies from lemon and lime to dark green with light blue.
It is not easy to get. The tsavorite lies at a serious depth, and therefore the miners work manually - mechanized labor cannot be applied.
But this is far from the only nuance. During the extraction of stone, people involved in this process are annoyed by scorpions and poisonous snakes. This moment also affects the fact that mined tsavorites are more than 200 times less than the same emeralds.
Interesting Facts
It should be noted that the tsavorite stone is one of the oldest on Earth, despite the fact that it was discovered about 50 years ago.
It is also interesting that its color saturation depends on the quantitative content of chromium and vanadium.
This stone is so beautiful that it is used in the manufacture of jewelry by such global brands as Faberge, Tiffany, Van Cleef and Boscheron.
And the name of the stone, by the way, was introduced into circulation by the president of Tiffany & Co - Sir Henry Platt. The gem was given a name in honor of the Tsavo National Park. From there, the mineral began its great journey around the world.
Healing properties
Having studied the description of the tsavorite, we can proceed to consider its healing qualities. Lithotherapists ascribe to him the following properties:
- Healing from eye diseases.
- Getting rid of insomnia and nightmares.
- Normalization of the nervous system, sedation.
- Pressure reduction and temperature stabilization in case of viral ailments.
- Improving well-being.
- Elimination of headaches that occur due to weather changes.
So that the unique properties of the tsavorite stone are fully revealed, you need to carry it with you in the form of some kind of jewelry, or a separate gem in a small bag.
However, lithotherapists assure that to achieve the effect, a short contemplation of the mineral in solitude is sufficient.
Magical properties
They deserve special attention. Not so long ago, the world knows the magical properties of tsavorite. Tsavorit (one of the pronunciation variants of the name) was discovered in the late 1960s. Ancient alchemists and magicians did not use it for their own purposes, but this does not mean that this mineral does not have any unique superpowers.
As practice has shown, the following properties are inherent in it:
- Pacification of quarrels, settlement of conflicts.
- The attraction of money, the improvement of material wealth.
- The abduction of evil from its owner. This property is enhanced if the stone is framed in silver.
- Absorption of all negative energy directed at a person from outside.
- Ridding a person of inferiority.
- Fostering open and friendly communication with other people.
- Strengthening intuition and self-confidence.
It is interesting that the stone tsavorite, having a powerful energy, acts on everything that surrounds a person. Even to other people. In the best sense of the word, of course. A stone literally helps its owner and everything around him flourish.
Who is suitable for a horoscope?
This question should also be answered. Indeed, the disclosure of the properties of the stone tsavor depends on the zodiac sign.
Most suitable for Pisces and Cancers. Because representatives of these signs are more likely than others to have a negative impact on them from the outside. They are quite impressionable and vulnerable. And for them, the tsarite will be a wonderful amulet that restores peace of mind.
But representatives of other signs can also wear it. Aries tsavorite will help to establish harmony in relationships, instill responsibility. Taurus will make more peaceful and merciful. Gemini will make it even more prosperous and active. From Leo will take away the negative influence of the creators. Dev will charge for the whole day. Libra will help to realize large-scale plans.
Scorpio tsarite will make it easier to climb, even dreamy. Sagittarius will help you think about the future. Capricorn will relieve mood swings. And Aquarius will add peace of mind.
In general, if a person is very worried about the question of who suits the properties of tsavorite stone, he can calm down - this mineral is useful for everyone to wear.
The use and price of the gem
It is necessary to make a reservation that stone tsavorite is used exclusively in jewelry. It is not processed - and not only because of the high hardness. This is correct from an aesthetic point of view - in its raw form, the mineral looks much better.
Often people are invited to artificially grown tsavorite. But this is a fraud - this mineral cannot be obtained in this way. So, under the guise of a noble gem, buyers are offered ordinary jewelry glass.
However, it is possible to find a real mineral. What is the price of a stone tsavorite? If it is a large gem weighing several carats, then the cost will be above $ 30,000. A small pebble will cost less. A tsavorite weighing 0.82 carats, for example, costs from 10 to 20 thousand rubles.
Wear and care
The best specimens of tsavorite are cut by jewelers. Stones with impurities are polished into cabochons - this is reflected in their price.
The most attractive gem looks in daylight. It is desirable that it be framed in white gold, platinum or silver. Most often, tsavorites are sold separately, but because a person who dreams of decorating with him, he himself can decide which product the mineral will be inlaid with.
Bracelets, earrings and rings with this stone are very suitable for girls. The mined tsavorites are not large, and therefore, due to their size, look perfect in such neat, elegant products.
How to look after him? It is enough to remember a few rules and apply them in the future. In no case should you allow a long direct exposure to sunlight on the stone. If a person comes in contact with water or household chemicals, you need to remove the jewelry from yourself at such times.
It should also be cleaned regularly. A very soft toothbrush and a mild soap solution will do. After the decoration is cleaned, you need to rinse it well under running water, and then dry it and properly polish it with a dry cloth. With such care and gentle care, the product will retain its visual novelty for a long time.
