This beautiful transparent 3.99 carat cushion shape green grossular garnet measures 9.22 by 9.00 by 5.39 mm, and displays a mixed brilliant cut that balances table brilliance with well defined pavilion facets to enhance light return. The stone is graded as slightly included when evaluated at eye level, indicating small natural inclusions that do not detract from its overall transparency or brightness, and the excellent polish increases surface luster and crisp facet delineation. The medium color intensity produces a fresh, verdant green that reads lively in both natural and artificial light, and because there is no enhancement, the hue and saturation are entirely natural. For an educated buyer, the combination of near four carats, cushion proportions, and a mixed brilliant faceting scheme offers a rare opportunity to own a grossular specimen that is both eye catching and technically well cut, suitable for a prominent ring, a bespoke pendant, or a collector seeking high quality natural garnets.
Sourced from Tanzania, this green grossular garnet fits well into a conscious consumer collection because it is unenhanced, naturally colored, and traceable to a recognized East African locality with a history of artisanal mining of garnet varieties. At The Natural Gemstone Company we prioritize responsible sourcing practices, and we work with supply chain partners who emphasize traceability, fair labor, and community engagement in mining regions. Choosing this gem means selecting a piece with transparent origin data, minimal post mining alteration, and tangible potential to support ethical trade pathways. From a gemological perspective, grossular garnet offers durability at approximately 6.5 to 7.5 on the Mohs scale, making it practical for everyday wear while retaining collectible appeal, and its unenhanced status appeals to connoisseurs who value geological authenticity. This garnet represents a thoughtful acquisition for the discerning buyer who values documented provenance, natural aesthetics, and the reassurance of sourcing standards upheld by The Natural Gemstone Company.
