0.93 Ct. Tsavorite Garnet from Tanzania

This pear shape tsavorite garnet presents as a precisely executed 0.93 carat transparent gem, with finished dimensions of 7.05 x 5.19 x 3.84 millimeters, and an overall depth that calculates to approximately 62.8 percent of the mean table diameter. The cutter elected a mixed brilliant faceting scheme to exploit tsavorite optical properties, combining a brilliant style crown with a pavilion that uses modified brilliant facets rather than aggressive steps, thereby increasing internal light return and scintillation while preserving color saturation. The pear outline is well balanced, with a smoothly graduated girdle transition that supports symmetry across the length to width ratio, and the pavilion angles have been tailored to the refractive index of grossular garnet to optimize the interplay of contrast and flash. The excellent polish applied across facets yields crisp facet junctions and minimal surface disruption, ensuring that light transmission encounters clean reflective planes that enhance perceived brilliance without introducing surface diffusion.

Color and clarity are the primary performance markers for this stone, and both are outstanding for a high end collector piece. This tsavorite displays a vivid color intensity, a pure green hue with cool green undertones that read as intense and saturated in both daylight and balanced artificial illumination. The gem is transparent with very slightly included clarity when evaluated at eye level, consistent with natural tsavorite material from Tanzania, and the minor internal characteristics do not impede the gem s overall transparency or the signature verdescent glow. As an isometric mineral the garnet family is optically isotropic, so this stone shows uniform color with no pleochroic splitting, and it benefits from a relatively high refractive index in the range expected for tsavorite, which yields strong contrast and lively internal reflections. The stone is untreated, with no enhancement reported, and the polish and facet precision further maximize natural dispersion and fire while maintaining true to origin color fidelity.

For the connoisseur assembling a high end collection this tsavorite is a technically disciplined and aesthetically arresting choice. Its sub one carat weight and elegant pear outline make it highly versatile, suitable as a refined solitaire center for a bespoke ring, a graceful pendant focal, or an apportioned accent within a multi stone design where controlled brilliance and intense natural color are required. The gem s hardness and durability profile, typical of tsavorite at approximately seven to seven and a half on the Mohs scale, provide practical wearability when set with appropriate protection at the point and cusps of the pear. Provenance from Tanzania is a valued attribute in the marketplace, and at The Natural Gemstone Company we document the gem s origin and full descriptive attributes for collectors who demand traceable sourcing and exacting gemological data. For buyers seeking technical confirmation we can provide additional top and profile imagery, measured proportions and light performance notes upon request, and we welcome inquiries from clients who require exacting specifications for custom mounting and for inclusion in curated collections.
