Precision-faceted vanadium green chrysoberyl from Tunduru, Tanzania. This gem displays a striking blend of green and golden tones unique to vanadium-bearing chrysoberyl from this region. Known for its excellent hardness and brilliance, chrysoberyl ranks just below corundum on the Mohs scale, making it a highly durable choice for jewelry. Tunduru’s alluvial deposits are famous for producing a wide range of rare gem varieties, and fine green chrysoberyl like this has become increasingly difficult to source.
