1.36 Ct. Green Garnet from Tanzania

A jewel that speaks of age old reverence for green stones, this transparent cushion shaped garnet weighs 1.36 carats, with dimensions of 6.58 by 5.61 by 4.67 millimeters, and is faceted with a mixed brilliant cut that captures light with dignified brilliance. The gem presents an intense color intensity and an excellent polish, maintaining a clarity grade of very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, and it is offered with no enhancement, direct from Tanzania. At The Natural Gemstone Company we cherish stones that feel like inheritable treasures, and this garnet embodies that timeless quality, recalling the way green gems have been chosen by generations for signet rings, pendants, and royal regalia, symbols of renewal and enduring taste.

When compared to other famous green gems the tone and hue of this Tanzanian garnet reveal its distinct character, it carries a vivid spring green that is brighter and cleaner in tone than the deeper, bluish greens typical of Colombian emeralds, while remaining more transparent and less included than many emeralds of equal saturation. Against Russian demantoid garnets the difference is equally telling, demantoid can show a more yellowish green and an intense fire that scatters light differently, whereas this garnet emphasizes pure, lively green saturation with crisp facet reflections from its mixed brilliant cut. In relation to tsavorite garnets from the Tsavo region of Kenya and Tanzania, this stone is a close cousin, sharing that energetic green, yet it displays its own signature balance of tone and brilliance that is slightly more vivid and more transparent in the hand. For the collector who values heritage, color purity, and enduring elegance, this cushion green garnet is a classic choice, and The Natural Gemstone Company is proud to present it as a piece meant to be worn now and treasured for generations.
