1.00 Ct. Tsavorite Garnet from Tanzania

This pear shaped green tsavorite garnet at one point zero zero carats from The Natural Gemstone Company is a fine example of what makes tsavorite exceptional, both in gemological properties and in visual appeal. The stone measures 6.68 by 5.17 by 3.88 millimeters and is cut in a mixed brilliant style that combines the depth and color emphasis of step facets with the lively scintillation of brilliant facets. Clarity is graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, which means the gem reads as transparently clean to most viewers while retaining a natural character that many collectors prize. Color intensity is described as dark, offering a lush, saturated green that reads strong in daylight and under artificial lighting, and the stone is free of enhancements, a rare and valuable trait that preserves the original integrity of Tanzanian tsavorite. The excellent polish ensures smooth facet junctions and crisp reflections, so every table and pavilion facet returns light with clarity and snap.

When you compare reflective qualities to other green gemstones that buyers commonly consider, the differences become immediately useful for making a choice. Compared with emerald, tsavorite presents a very different kind of brilliance, emerald often showing a softer, more diffused glow due to internal inclusions and the common practice of clarity enhancement. Tsavorite on the other hand leverages its transparent clarity and mixed brilliant architecture to deliver sharp facet reflections and lively scintillation, which makes the green appear more vivid and energetic from any viewing angle. Against peridot, tsavorite tends to display a purer, deeper green with less yellow bias, and the mixed brilliant cut amplifies the stone s sparkle, whereas peridot s optical character can read flatter and more uniform in color. Buyers seeking a green that sparkles with crisp flashes and retains a saturated tone across different lighting situations will find tsavorite compelling in ways that softer or more included green gems cannot match.

Comparisons with other garnets and green corundum also highlight tsavorite s unique balance of fire, brilliance, and color. Demantoid garnet is celebrated for its fiery dispersion, and in smaller sizes some demantoid specimens can outperform tsavorite in terms of fire alone. However, demantoid often leans toward a slightly different green tone and can be rarer at certain sizes and shapes. The tsavorite we offer gives you a vivid green that reads exceptionally well in a pear silhouette, and its mixed brilliant cutting maximizes both face up color saturation and light return, delivering a lively play of light that feels more gemlike and dynamic than many step cut or heavily included alternatives. Against green sapphire, which can be very durable and sometimes darker in tone, this tsavorite offers a more immediate brilliance and a greener statement at the one carat size without the need to sacrifice clarity, and the lack of heat or other treatments makes it a purer natural option for collectors who prefer untreated gemstones.

From a value and rarity perspective, this Tanzanian tsavorite from The Natural Gemstone Company stands out on several fronts. The combination of one carat weight, a precise pear shape measuring 6.68 by 5.17 by 3.88 millimeters, dark saturated color, and a very slightly included clarity grading at eye level is difficult to find in untreated tsavorites on the open market. The excellent polish and the mixed brilliant cut mean the gem will deliver immediate visual impact in a range of settings, whether set as a solitaire pendant, a halo ring where the facets will catch light against small accent diamonds, or as the centerpiece of a bespoke commission. For buyers deciding between similar sized greens, the untreated origin and superior polish make this gem a wise choice for both emotional wear and long term appreciation, and The Natural Gemstone Company s reputation for ethical sourcing and thorough grading adds confidence to the purchase. If you are looking for a green that combines the snap and fire of a brilliant cut with the deep, natural color of a fine tsavorite, this piece represents a superior and versatile option.
