Hello Charles & list,=20

I too am interested in learning more about these mystery-shrouded =
Tsavorites that are being compared to and associated with Moldavites. By =
being mined from deep in the earth, man-made glass can be ruled-out as a =
verdict regarding what they are.=20

You refer to them as glassy mineral stones and yes they do make better =
cut gem stones than true Moldavite but somebody somewhere must have =
figured out whether this is indeed a newly discovered variety of tektite =
or a non-impact related gem or mineral. Hopefully others on this list =
may be able to shed a little more light on Tsavorites or pass-along a =
few pearls of wisdom on the general topic.

Some scientific testing of Tsavorite material needs to be conducted.=20
Plenty of people would be eager to know the results.=20

Szep, over & out...=20

Well, at least they did not call them Moldavite (only Czech), as most =
mineral dealerships do. These particular types are mined from deep in =
the earth (tsavorite, Tanzanian), and the jury is out as to what impact =
they could be related to if they are indeed tektites. There was a big =
todo about gem dealers calling these items Moldavite , and the pressure =
on them to dis-associate them from that name has been great. These =
particular glassy mineral stones make much better cut gemstones than the =
true Moldavite, but what they really are has yet to be officially =
determined, as far as I know
