Deposits of Tsavorite in East Africa are hosted by metamorphic rocks of the Mozambique. The protoliths of these rocks were deposited in a marine environment shallow and subsequently metamorphosed during the East African orogeny between 650 and 550 million years before (Sagad et al., 2013). Shale oil blacks who were deposited in the Sea basins have been metamorphosed to form graphite gneisses. Black Shales are usually enriched with Vanadium, the dye (sometimes with chromium) in Tsavorite. The basement rocks consist mainly of gneisses which are interbedded with mica, kyanite and Shales of graphite, as well as lesser amounts of quartzite, silicates and marble rocks. The mineralsation of Tsavorite is hosted by gneisses of graphite, which are commonly interbedded with Shales and the bands of marble with 10 cm to 2 m thick. Graphitic gneiss composed of quartz, alkali feldspar, biotite, and graphite; sillimanite, epidote, allanite, titanite, zircon, apatite, magnetite and hematite are also accessory minerals often trapped in the Tsavorite.
