0.94 Ct. Tsavorite Garnet from East Africa

From the sun warmed valleys of East Africa this vivid green tsavorite garnet began its long quiet journey, formed deep within metamorphic rocks and later discovered by small scale miners who recognize its rare, lively hue. At The Natural Gemstone Company we source stones that tell a story, and this 0.94 carat oval tsavorite speaks of careful selection and respect for natural origin. The gem measures 7.28 x 5.17 x 3.04 mm, with an oval shape and a mixed brilliant cut that balances sparkle and depth, it is transparent, evaluated as eye clean at eye level, with vivid color intensity and an excellent polish, no enhancement. From the moment the rough was unearthed to the careful day light grading and final polishing, each step preserved the natural green that makes tsavorite unique.

As cutters shaped the rough into a precise oval, they worked to keep the lively green alive in every facet while maximizing brilliance and clarity, the mixed brilliant cut creates scintillation across a range of light conditions that keeps the stone animated in movement. The excellent polish brings a smooth, mirror like finish to each facet, and the eye clean clarity allows the color to sing without distraction. At The Natural Gemstone Company we pair these technical qualities with provenance, so you receive not only a beautiful gem, but a tangible piece of East African geology and human craft. Because this tsavorite is untreated, its color and vitality are wholly natural, a detail that resonates with collectors and anyone seeking an authentic gem that carries both story and longevity.

When set in jewelry this green tsavorite flatters a wide spectrum of skin tones, on fair and cool undertones the vivid green provides a striking, jewel like contrast that brightens the complexion and stands out like a fresh spring leaf. On medium and olive tones the stone harmonizes with natural warmth, its depth enhancing golden and bronze hues for a balanced, elegant look. On deeper skin tones the vivid green reads as rich and luminous, creating a luminous focal point that is both regal and modern. For metal pairings white metals such as platinum or white gold deliver a crisp contemporary look, yellow gold warms and deepens the green for a classic, vintage feel, and rose gold offers a softer, romantic contrast.
