This oval 1.00 carat green tsavorite garnet measures 7.45 x 5.36 x 2.82 mm, and it combines vivid color intensity with transparency and a clarity grade of very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, making it stand out from many commercially available greens. The mixed brilliant cut and excellent polish maximize reflections and fire, producing a lively face up appearance that rivals more commonly sought after stones, while remaining free of enhancement. Compared with emeralds, this tsavorite offers a cleaner window and naturally saturated green color without the common oils and treatments that can complicate long term care, and compared with peridot and green tourmaline it displays stronger saturation and a more gemlike presence at this size. Its East Africa origin adds provenance and rarity, and because it is untreated it retains greater intrinsic value than many heat treated or flux enhanced alternatives. For buyers seeking real natural color and excellent clarity in a compact package, this specimen represents superior quality and transparent value in the current market.
For custom jewelry makers and designers this tsavorite is a particularly ideal choice due to its precise oval proportions and balanced depth, which allow it to sit beautifully in a wide variety of settings, from classic prong solitaires to halo engagement rings, from elegant bezel pendants to refined stud and drop earrings. The 7.45 x 5.36 mm dimensions are large enough to make a visual statement, while the 2.82 mm depth provides stability and secure settings during fabrication, reducing the need for excessive metal and preserving the stone as the focal point. The mixed brilliant cut enhances sparkle in both direct and ambient light, so designers can create pieces that read as lively and luxurious at arm length and up close. Offered by The Natural Gemstone Company, this untreated East African tsavorite combines scarcity, beauty, and practicality, making it an excellent choice for bespoke commissions and heirloom creations, contact us for advice on settings, matching stones, and custom design options.
