1.05 Ct. Tsavorite Garnet from Tanzania

The Natural Gemstone Company is pleased to present a beautiful transparent 1.05 carat cushion shape green tsavorite garnet, an exceptional example of what informed buyers seek in a fine colored gemstone. This gem measures 6.11 x 5.09 x 3.95 mm, and it is cut in a mixed brilliant style that balances lively brilliancy with an elegant cushion profile. The color is described as medium light intensity, offering a vivid and fresh green that reads bright in most lighting conditions without looking overly dark. The clarity grade is very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, and the stone displays an excellent polish that maximizes light return and surface brilliance. The origin is Tanzania, from established East African tsavorite sources, and there has been no enhancement, which is a key point for collectors and connoisseurs who prefer naturally occurring color and clarity.

Tsavorite garnet is a member of the grossular garnet species, and its green color derives from traces of chromium and sometimes vanadium, minerals that produce a pure, saturated green without the grassy or bluish overtones that some other greens can show. Typical refractive index values for tsavorite lie in a range that favors strong brilliance and lively dispersion, this combined with an expert mixed brilliant cut creates pronounced sparkle and scintillation. The very very slightly included clarity observed at eye level means that to the unaided eye the gem is effectively eye clean, while any natural inclusions are minimal and are typically detected only under magnification. This balance of high clarity and natural internal characteristics enhances the gemological integrity of the stone, and the excellent polish ensures that facets meet crisply to create precise light performance.

From a design perspective the 1.05 carat weight and the physical dimensions of 6.11 by 5.09 mm make this tsavorite ideal for a statement piece. A cushion mixed brilliant of this size carries visual weight, and the stone will read larger in a well proportioned setting because of its lively green hue and high clarity. For an educated buyer, the combination of size and clarity is pivotal, because it allows bold design without sacrificing optical quality, and because tsavorite is comparatively rare among fine natural green gems. The absence of enhancement is particularly meaningful when considering long term value and desirability, many high end green gems are routinely oiled or otherwise treated, whereas an untreated tsavorite with natural color is increasingly sought after in the market. Durability is also favorable for everyday wear, tsavorite typically sits in a hardness range that permits ring and pendant use with appropriate care, and the excellent polish and precise cutting further reduce the risk of wear related dulling of the surface.
