0.20 Ct. Tsavorite Garnet from Tanzania

This single, transparent 0.20 carat round tsavorite garnet offered by The Natural Gemstone Company presents an exceptional combination of color, clarity, and cut. The gem measures 4.04 x 4.00 x 2.60 mm, and it has been faceted in a mixed brilliant style to balance intense color saturation with lively scintillation. Originating from Tanzania, this tsavorite is completely unenhanced, which is an important attribute for buyers who prioritize natural color and long term stability. The stone exhibits vivid color intensity and an excellent polish, qualities that together produce a rich, velvety green that reads as both lively and refined under a variety of lighting conditions.

From a gemological perspective, this tsavorite displays several features that make it desirable to an educated buyer. Tsavorite is a green grossular garnet whose color is derived from trace amounts of vanadium and chromium, and fine examples from East Africa are prized for their pure, vivid green hues with minimal secondary tones. This example is graded as eye clean at standard viewing distances, meaning that no inclusions are visible to the unaided eye, a critical factor when evaluating small, intensely colored gems where clarity can directly influence perceived depth of color. The excellent polish enhances facet definition, allowing light to enter and return efficiently, and the mixed brilliant cutting strategy maximizes both sparkle and color saturation by combining a brilliant crown with carefully proportioned pavilion facets.

The dimensions and cut proportions of the stone work together to ensure consistent performance in jewelry applications. At 4.04 x 4.00 x 2.60 mm the gem sits with a pleasing table and depth relationship that supports strong return of light and even color across the face of the stone, while the mixed brilliant faceting creates a complex pattern of flashes that animate with movement. Because the stone is unheated and otherwise unenhanced, its vivid color is natural and stable, a key consideration for long term collectors and designers. Tsavorite garnet has a practical hardness in the range of Mohs 7.0 to 7.5, which makes it suitable for everyday jewelry when set with appropriate protective settings, and when combined with the eye clean clarity and superior polish of this specimen, the result is a gem that reads as flawless to the viewer and performs reliably in wearable settings.

For clients seeking a thoughtfully sourced, single stone for bespoke jewelry, this Tanzanian tsavorite represents an informed choice. The Natural Gemstone Company stands behind transparent descriptions and careful selection, and we highlight the unenhanced origin, clarity grading, vivid color intensity, and superior polish so buyers can make decisions based on verifiable attributes. In settings where the gem will be viewed from multiple angles, its mixed brilliant cut and eye clean nature ensure that the intense green is uninterrupted by visible inclusions, while the excellent polish enhances light return so the stone appears lively and uniformly saturated from the table to the girdle. For designers and collectors who value natural provenance, measurable quality, and visual impact, this 0.20 carat round tsavorite garnet is an exemplary choice.
