0.86 Ct. Tsavorite Garnet from East Africa

One exquisite pear shaped green tsavorite garnet, weighing 0.86 carat, presents itself as an immediate standout for any high end gemstone collection. Measuring 6.27 by 5.35 by 3.73 mm, this gem has been fashioned into a refined pear silhouette with a mixed brilliant cut that balances scintillation with depth of color. The stone is transparent, with a clarity grade described as very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, a rarity among vivid green gemstones and a key contributor to its clean visual appeal. The color intensity is intense, a pure rich green that glows from within under both natural and artificial light, and the polish has been executed to an excellent standard so that the facets deliver saturated flashes of green without interruption. Importantly this tsavorite has no enhancement, and its East Africa origin further confirms the authentic provenance that discerning collectors and connoisseurs seek, making it a true natural example of tsavorite at its best.

When comparing this tsavorite to other green gemstones typically favored for luxury pieces, the advantages become clear. Emeralds often boast deep green tones yet commonly require oiling or other treatments to improve clarity and stability, and their numerous inclusions make them more fragile and less brilliant when held beside a clean tsavorite. Green sapphires have admirable hardness but can lack the vividness and lively play of green that characterizes top quality tsavorite, and they frequently present a more subdued, blue biased green. Peridot and green tourmaline are attractive at certain price points but tend to show darker or muddier green, or less refractive brilliance. Demantoid garnet can rival tsavorite for vibrancy and brilliance, yet demantoids are rarer and tend to show a different spectrum of yellow green to emerald green, often commanding higher prices for comparable sizes. This particular 0.86 carat pear shaped tsavorite sits in a sweet spot for collectors, offering an intense, pure green saturation with impressive clarity and polish, all without any enhancements, which elevates both its aesthetic and its long term value compared to many alternatives on the market.

The mixed brilliant cut has been chosen with careful attention to proportions, creating a balance between face up spread and refractive return that allows this gem to appear lively and vivid even in modest lighting. The pear shape adds versatility for designers and collectors alike, providing a graceful elongated silhouette that flatters finger, neck, and ear settings, and that can be set as a center stone or paired in a matching ensemble. At 6.27 by 5.35 by 3.73 mm the gem offers generous presence for a near one carat weight while maintaining wearable comfort in rings and pendants. The excellent polish enhances facet definition and maximizes the deep internal glow that is a hallmark of premium tsavorites. For those assembling a top tier collection, this stone represents an item that is both wearable and museum worthy, a gem that will deliver eye catching color and brilliance under exhibition lights as readily as in everyday wear.

Collectors seeking to refine or diversify a luxury collection will find this East African tsavorite a strategic and tasteful addition. The Natural Gemstone Company is proud to present such a specimen that combines natural, untreated provenance with aesthetic qualities that rival larger or more aggressively marketed gems. As markets continue to reward stones that are clean, vivid, and untreated, well cut tsavorites like this will remain desirable and resilient in value. Paired with high karat gold or platinum in a bespoke setting, this pear shaped tsavorite will read as both sophisticated and contemporary, attracting interest from serious collectors and designers who recognize the rarity of an intense, transparent green gem with very very slight inclusions and an excellent polish. For those building a considered collection, this tsavorite is not only a beautiful jewel, it is a confident statement of taste and an investment in a natural treasure from East Africa.
