0.43 Ct. Tsavorite Garnet from Tanzania

Born in the emerald green highlands of Tanzania, this 0.43 carat cushion shaped tsavorite garnet carries the story of earth and hand from its first light beneath the soil to its final, polished form. Mined by small scale teams who follow old trails of garnet bearing schists, the rough was selected for its rare, vivid green saturation and crystal clarity. Skilled cutters then shaped it into a refined cushion with a mixed brilliant cut, honoring the stone's natural depth while unlocking its internal fire. At 4.96 x 3.84 x 2.86 mm the proportions were chosen to preserve weight and color, the clarity reads very slightly included when viewed at eye level, the polish is excellent, and there has been no enhancement. This tsavorite keeps the honest signature of its origin, and every facet records the light of the Tanzanian horizon in a living green, presented to you by The Natural Gemstone Company.

Compared to other green gemstones this tsavorite speaks with a clear, bright voice. Against emerald it offers a cooler comparison of brilliance. Emeralds often present a lush green but with softer, more velvety reflections due to their characteristic inclusions and frequent clarity treatments, while this tsavorite returns light with sharper, more lively scintillation because of its higher refractive response and clean mixed brilliant faceting. Against demantoid garnet, known for exceptional fire and lively dispersion, the tsavorite trades raw fire for cleaner, more saturated color and a steadier, jewel like gleam across facets. Versus peridot and green tourmaline this tsavorite stands out for intensity and durability, producing crisper facet contrast and stronger return of light when set in jewelry. The mixed brilliant cushion cut amplifies this behavior, creating a sequence of flashes and flashes of green that feel both modern and timeless when worn. For those seeking a green stone that combines vivid, untouched color, honest clarity, and lively reflection, this Tanzanian tsavorite from The Natural Gemstone Company is a rare small treasure ready to be set into a ring, pendant, or secret keepsake, a gem that carries its origin and craftsmanship in every glint.
