1.00 Ct. Tsavorite Garnet from Tanzania

One beautiful transparent 1.00 carat pear shape green tsavorite garnet awaits the discerning collector, a rarity that arrives to you with provenance and presence, sourced from the soils of Tanzania and fashioned to perfection by master cutters. This gem measures 6.68 x 5.17 x 3.88 mm, and wears a mixed brilliant cut that maximizes both scintillation and depth, its vivid color intensity announcing itself instantly while its excellent polish lends a mirror like finish to every facet. Evaluated at eye level this tsavorite is very slightly included, a clarity that preserves its crystalline purity for practical wear while imparting character that only true natural gems possess, and because it has undergone no enhancement you own the unaltered splendour of nature. At The Natural Gemstone Company we present this piece not as inventory, but as an invitation to join an elite circle of collectors who understand that genuine rarity is defined by origin, quality, and the quiet confidence of a gem that needs no alteration.

Under light the pear shaped mixed brilliant cut of this tsavorite reveals a lively interplay of brightness and depth, each facet returning light with a vivacity that is immediate and long lasting, the mixed style combining the broad flashes of a step pavilion with the rapid scintillation of a brilliant crown to create movement that feels both modern and timeless. The green is vivid without appearing artificial, a pure chroma that sits between forest and emerald tones, and because the polish is excellent the surface acts like a precise reflector, allowing pinpoint highlights to dance across its face while deeper pavilion tones provide a sense of three dimensionality. The very slightly included clarity means that at normal viewing distances the stone reads as transparent and clean, and those small, honest inclusions add a fingerprint of origin rather than any detriment to performance. For the client who seeks a gem with wearable brilliance, enduring colour, and an honest provenance, this tsavorite is a rare convergence of desirable attributes.

When compared to other gemstones in its category the reflective qualities of this tsavorite stand out for their balance and refinement. Versus emeralds the tsavorite delivers superior light return due to a higher refractive index, tsavorite typically displays an RI around 1.740 to 1.760 while emerald lies nearer 1.560 to 1.600, and that optical advantage translates to more lively brilliance and crisper facet contrast, whereas emeralds are prized for their rich, velvety green and often show less sparkle because of their lower RI and their tendency to host surface reaching inclusions. Compared to demantoid garnets, which possess an even higher refractive index and notably strong dispersion producing abundant fire, tsavorite offers less spectral flash yet provides a cleaner, more saturated green with greater color purity in larger sizes, and because demantoids are rarer in fine size their fiery character can sometimes be more about small scale flash than the broad, liquid green presence that tsavorite can yield. Against other green stones such as chrome diopside and peridot, this tsavorite combines durability and brilliance more favorably, peridot has a softer tone and lower refractive properties which can read more subdued in faceted work, chrome diopside can show deep color but often lacks the same polish resilience and optical snap that a well cut tsavorite exhibits.

Owning this pear shaped 1.00 carat tsavorite from Tanzania through The Natural Gemstone Company confers an immediate sense of exclusivity, because gems of this clarity, cut, and unenhanced origin do not appear often and when they do they are swiftly recognized by connoisseurs. Imagine this stone set to catch light at every gesture while remaining unmistakably elegant on the hand or at the throat, a bespoke centerpiece that announces refined taste without shouting, and for collectors who seek pieces that appreciate in desirability rather than merely in price this tsavorite conveys both emotional and aesthetic value. We present it as a singular opportunity to secure a gem that is as honest as it is beautiful, and we invite those who appreciate the rare and the genuine to inquire about acquisition and bespoke mounting options, because owning such a stone is to belong to a select group who understand that true rarity is measured in provenance, proportion, and the quiet brilliance of an unenhanced gem.
