1.51 Ct. Tsavorite Garnet from Tanzania

There is a hush to the green of this tsavorite garnet, a quiet forest light caught and folded into a single, perfect heartbeat. We present a transparent 1.51 carat cushion shape tsavorite garnet from Tanzania, a gem whose presence feels like a secret cleared in the air between two people who know what they have found. At 6.88 x 5.36 x 4.23 mm the stone sits comfortably between bold and intimate, large enough to announce itself, small enough to feel personal, its vivid color intensity drawing the eye like a leaf held up to the sun. The hue is a deep, living green that moves as you move, part emerald song, part fresh spring after a summer storm, every glance an invitation to linger.

The mixed brilliant cut is the reason this gem seems to breathe light. Where a plain cut might hold color, the mixed brilliant cut releases it, a choreography of crown facets and pavilion facets engineered to capture daylight and candle glow alike, then scatter it back in ribbons of fire and pulses of brilliance. The cushion shape softens the geometry, giving each facet a gentle slope so that reflections sweep across the surface like waves over a glassy pond. The table is a clear window, generous but not overpowering, framing the stone so that internal flashes can be read like lines of a poem. From the crown the smaller star and kite facets catch quicksilver highlights, while the pavilion facets deepen them, creating a layered play where return of light and contrast of shadow keep the green lively with discreet, alive scintillation.

Clarity and polish are the quiet partners to cut and color, and in this tsavorite they are superbly matched. Evaluated at eye level the stone shows very very slightly included character, an honest whisper of nature that does nothing to disturb the gemologies of the heart, rather it anchors the brilliance with small, private details that speak to authenticity. The excellent polish allows every facet edge to sing without interruption, so that when light enters it meets a seamless surface and exits with clean intent, amplifying both brilliance and saturation. Because this gem has no enhancement, its vivid color and transparent clarity are the result of earth and time alone, an unretouched passage from the mines of Tanzania into the setting you will choose. The unenhanced nature of the stone makes the greens feel truthful and immediate, not painted, and when set against metal and skin the color seems to harmonize, the stone responding like a living note in a personal song.
