Tsavoriteortsavoliteis a variety of thegarnetgroup speciesgrossular.Trace amounts ofvanadiumorchromiumprovide the green color.
In 1967, British gem prospector and geologist Dr.Campbell R. Bridgesdiscovered a deposit of green grossular in the mountains of north-eastTanzaniain a place called Lemshuko, 15km away from Komolo, the first village. The specimens he found were of very intense color and of high transparency. The find interested the gem trade, and attempts were made to export the stones, but the Tanzanian government did not provide permits.
Believing that the deposit was a part of a larger geological structure extending possibly intoKenya, Bridges began prospecting in that nation. He was successful a second time in 1971, when he found the mineral variety there, and was granted a permit to mine the deposit. The gemstone was only known to mineral specialists until 1974, whenTiffany and Colaunched a marketing campaign which brought broader recognition of the stone.

Why are users outbidding themselves?
When a bid is placed, this is the maximum amount a user is willing to bid for the product. Our system will then automatically bid on that users behalf, incrementally increasing the bid to maintain their position as the highest bidder, up to the specified maximum.
When there is an icon indicating 'Auto Bid,' it means our system is actively placing bids for the user based on their maximum bid. This may appear as if users are outbidding themselves, but it's simply a result of the system updating the bid to reflect the users maximum limit.
