Green garnets are some of the most beautiful and unique gemstones. Many people have no idea that garnets can be green. These garnets are found mostly in East Africa in the countries of Kenya and Tanzania. The dark greens are called Tsavorite Garnet, since they were originally discovered in the Tsavo Park area of Kenya. The lighter Merelani Mint garnets are found in the same area of Tanzania as Tanzanite. These stones make a very nice alternative to emerald, as they are much more durable. Also on the page, although not exactly green are the Mali Garnets. These gems are a mix Andradite and Grossularite garnet, and have a very high dispersion, so they look like a diamond when cut well. Garnet has a hardness is from 7 to 7.5. Garnet is the birthstone for January.
