1.22 Ct. Tsavorite Garnet from Tanzania

This transparent 1.22 carat princess shape tsavorite garnet measures 6.12 by 6.03 by 3.79 millimeters and displays meticulous cutting proportions, with a depth of approximately 62.5 percent that balances color saturation and light return. The stone is executed in a classic princess cut, featuring a square outline with crisply defined corners and precisely executed pavilion faceting that produces well formed chevron reflections when viewed table up. The cutting style emphasizes contrast between the brilliant crown facets and the stepped pavilion arrangement, optimizing scintillation while maintaining intense body color. Clarity is graded as very very slightly included as evaluated at eye level, and the gem is notably clean to unaided inspection, allowing the vivid green hue to read without visual interruption. Polish quality is excellent, the facet junctions are sharp and even, and the symmetry supports an even distribution of light across the table and pavilion, producing a lively play of internal reflections without cloudiness or surface abrasion. No enhancement has been applied, the material is natural tsavorite garnet from Tanzania, and the combination of origin and untreated status is a key factor in its market appeal for discerning collectors and designers.

The rich, bold green of this tsavorite operates as a precise visual statement and as a symbol of personal power and distinction, offering a saturated vivid color intensity that reads as both regal and contemporary in wearable designs. For practitioners and clients who prioritize color over dispersion, this gem demonstrates how a well proportioned princess cut can channel deep saturation into focused flashes of brightness, making it ideal as a single stone center for a ring or pendant where presence and clarity are required. With a Mohs hardness in the range of seven to seven and a half, tsavorite offers reasonable daily wearability combined with recommended protective design choices, such as prong settings that reinforce the vulnerable corners or bezel profiles that preserve the stone edge while showcasing its vibrant color. At The Natural Gemstone Company we prioritize exacting lapidary standards and responsible sourcing, and this piece exemplifies our commitment to precision cutting and uncompromised natural color.
