Tashmarine (tm) is a new gemstone discovered in the former Soviet Union. Cousin to Chrome Diopside (with the same hardness: 5.5 to 6 on the Mohs scale) it’s color is halfway between Peridot and blue-green Tourmaline. The color is natural and the gems are not heated or irradiated as so many are nowadays. I propose Tashmarine (tm) as a new alternate birthstone for August! Tashmarine Info (tm)
LATEST NEWS! *********************************************
I WON'T BE ABLE TO GET ANY MORE TASHMARINE! They have informed me that
they don't expect any more production from the mine. I've updated this
page and these are actually in stock - for now!
The company that mines these has informed me that they won't be mining any more. Apparently the mine hasn't produced many for some time, and now there is a problem getting to it because access is through China, and they're not allowing passage. With the low production, the company has decided it's no longer worth the trouble to try to go there.
So what is in stock right now is all
I'm going to have, and when they're gone, they're gone.

The name Tashmarine (tm) is a combination of the East and West. Tash means stone in many central Asian dialects, with marine meaning ocean in Latin. Hence, Tashmarine (tm), the ocean colored gemstone. The people who brought this beautiful gemstone to the world also have a daughter named Tasha. This adds a special meaning and beauty to the world’s newest gemstone.
Tashmarine (tm) is unique to green precious gemstones. It comes in sizes from one to fifty carats and can be cut free of inclusions. The gemstone’s hardness is 5 ½ to 6 which puts it in the same range as Tanzanite. There are no enhancements done to this precious gemstone, so the color is exactly as it come from the earth.
