Campbell R. Bridges (1938 – August 11, 2009) was a Scottish gemologist.[1] Bridges, originally from Scotland, lived in Kenya with his family and regularly mined for rare gemstones with his son Bruce Bridges.[2] The discovery of the green variety of garnet known as tsavorite and the importation of tanzanite into the west solidified his reputation and lead to a consultancy with Tiffany & Co. in 1973.[3]
Bridges was attacked by a gang of 20 men armed with clubs, spears, bows and arrows in the town of Voi and died of his injuries on arrival at hospital. He was 71.[4] Kenyan police made an arrest for the murder on August 19.[5] [edit] References
