1.35 Ct. Tsavorite Garnet from Tanzania

This exceptional, transparent 1.35 carat asscher octagon shape green tsavorite garnet measures 5.88 x 5.65 x 4.46 mm, and is faceted in a precise asscher cut that emphasizes symmetry and internal depth. As a member of the grossular garnet family, this tsavorite comes from Tanzania, a well documented and respected source, and it is completely natural with no enhancement. The gem displays vivid color intensity, an excellent polish, and a clarity grade of slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which allows the stone to remain visually clean while revealing small natural characteristics that confirm its origin and authenticity. The combination of weight, proportion and excellent polish results in a lively presentation that balances saturation and light return, producing an emerald like green with superb scintillation.

From a gemological perspective the asscher cut is an exceptional choice for this tsavorite, because its step facets and square octagonal outline concentrate and reflect light in broad flashes, enhancing the stone s color saturation and perceived depth. The cut proportions in this specimen were executed to maximize face up color and to allow the vivid green to remain evenly distributed across the table, while the excellent polish ensures crisp facet junctions and optimal brilliance. The slightly included clarity grade indicates natural inclusions that are not distracting to the eye at normal viewing distance, and these characteristics actually add to the gem s verifiable natural provenance, which discerning buyers regard as valuable. Being untreated increases its appeal to collectors and connoisseurs who understand that natural, unenhanced gemstones retain their value and appeal more reliably than treated equivalents.

This tsavorite s durability and stable green hue mean its natural beauty will continue to captivate for years, with proper care. Tsavorite typically offers a Mohs hardness that permits regular wear, yet protective settings and mindful handling will prolong its polish and reduce risk to the facet edges. For routine care we recommend gentle cleaning with warm soapy water and a soft brush, and avoiding aggressive thermal or chemical exposure because inclusions, though slight, can be sensitive to extreme conditions. At The Natural Gemstone Company we stand behind the gemological quality and origin of this stone, and we are available to provide additional certificates, imaging, and guidance on setting and care to ensure this distinctive tsavorite remains a cherished and enduring centerpiece in any jewelry collection.
