This listing presents a single, transparent tsavorite garnet weighing 0.93 carat, cut into a classic pear shape with dimensions of 6.43 by 5.45 by 3.78 millimeters. The pavilion and crown are faceted in a mixed brilliant scheme, which is designed to optimize scintillation and light return in this size range. Color is vivid, displaying an intense pure green with saturated tone and lively saturation. Clarity is graded as very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, and the stone displays excellent polish across all facet planes. There are no enhancements or treatments reported, and the material is natural tsavorite garnet originating from East Africa. The combination of weight, cut proportions, and finish make this specimen highly suitable as a center stone for a pendant or an elegant pear shaped ring, particularly when a balance of brilliance and strong color is desired.
From a gemological perspective this tsavorite exhibits the characteristics typical of high quality grossular garnet enriched by chromium and vanadium trace elements which produce the rich green hue. The mixed brilliant cut accentuates both the color and the internal light dynamics, providing a pleasing mix of broad flashes and pinpoint scintillation. With a Mohs hardness in the range of 7.0 to 7.5, tsavorite offers good resistance to everyday wear when set and maintained appropriately. Because this example is transparent and very very slightly included at eye level, it reads as visually clean to the unaided eye while still retaining natural internal markers that confirm its identity. Care recommendations include routine cleaning with warm water, mild detergent, and a soft brush, with professional inspection recommended before any aggressive cleaning such as steam or ultrasonic work.
Beyond its physical and gemological attributes, tsavorite garnet carries a long association with qualities that many traditions and practitioners attribute to green gemstones. It is commonly associated with the heart chakra and with emotional renewal, and it is often described as encouraging feelings of compassion, openness, and confidence. Practitioners who work with crystal energy frequently value tsavorite for its reputed ability to support vitality, to stimulate creativity, and to foster a sense of abundance and prosperity. These attributes are framed in spiritual and symbolic terms and should not be interpreted as medical or financial advice. For those who incorporate stones into meditative practice, tsavorite is often worn close to the skin or held during sessions to reinforce intentions around healing, generosity, and personal growth.
This tsavorite garnet is presented by The Natural Gemstone Company with full disclosure of its natural origin and the absence of enhancement. For designers and collectors this stone offers a combination of pure green color, a refined pear silhouette, and a near one carat weight that is versatile in a range of settings. It pairs well with white metals such as platinum or white gold to emphasize its green saturation, and it also complements warm metals such as yellow gold for a classic, contrasting presentation. When considering settings, a well proportioned bezel or claw mount will protect the pointed tip of the pear shape while allowing light to interact with the mixed brilliant facets. The Natural Gemstone Company can provide additional imagery and documentation on request, and can advise on setting options that preserve the integrity and visual performance of the stone.
