0.87 Ct. Tsavorite Garnet from Tanzania

This transparent 0.87 carat cushion shaped tsavorite garnet presents precise proportions, with dimensions of 5.98 by 4.53 by 3.66 mm, and a mixed brilliant cut that has been executed to maximize both scintillation and color saturation. The mixed brilliant design pairs a brilliant-faceted crown with geometrically controlled pavilion facets, producing a dynamic interplay of pinpoint flashes and broad color windows, while maintaining even light return across the face of the gem. Clarity is graded very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, indicating minute internal features visible only under careful inspection and not detracting from overall transparency or brilliance. The intense color intensity manifests as a vivid, saturated green, and the excellent polish enhances facet junction crispness and mirror finish, allowing for optimal dispersion and reflective contrast. Origin is Tanzania, and no enhancement has been applied, ensuring the stone’s color and optical properties are entirely natural, a detail that matters to connoisseurs who prioritize untreated gems. Craftsmanship details include precise facet alignment, consistent symmetry across the cushion outline, and a well-executed table that balances surface area with pavilion depth, all contributing to uniform light performance and a pleasing visual balance between fire and body color.

In a jewelry setting this tsavorite’s vibrant green will stand out immediately, whether set as a solitaire, within a halo, or paired with accent diamonds, because the intense saturation and expertly cut mixed facets create both strong color presence and lively brilliance. Against yellow gold the green reads warm and resonant, enhancing depth and contrast, while against white metals the green appears cooler and more electric, allowing designers to use metal choice to tune the perceived hue. The cushion outline and moderate dimensions make it versatile for rings, pendants, and bespoke pieces, and the eye level clarity grade means the stone will maintain a clean appearance in everyday wear. For buyers who seek technical excellence, The Natural Gemstone Company offers this tsavorite as a fine example of natural color, meticulous faceting, and superior polish, ready to become the focal point of a high quality jewelry design, with provenance from Tanzania and no enhancements, providing both aesthetic impact and confidence in the gem’s natural integrity.
