The group-name "Grossular" is named after R. Grossularia, the botanical name of the gooseberry, because of the resemblance of the color (pale green) to that of the plant. Green grossular-garnets can be found also from other areas, but only kenyan ones can me called as Tsavorites, others are just green grossular garnets. Also other colours of grossulars should be called with their colour + grossular; pink grossular garnet etc... best rgds, pekka s Jose Campos wrote: >Hi Charlie and List, > >That's a nice, informative page on Tsavorites: It's interesting to notice >that they come in different colours: pink, brown, orange, yellow, besides >the perhaps more familiar, pretty green.
