This transparent 1.51 carat cushion shaped green tsavorite garnet measures 6.61 x 5.73 x 4.67 mm, offering a balanced profile for precision mounting. The gem features a mixed brilliant cut, combining facets that optimize both light return and depth, and presents an eye clean clarity grade as evaluated at eye level. Color is characterized as medium intensity green, with a natural tone unaltered by treatment, enhancement free. The polish is excellent, producing sharp facet junctions and crisp facet reflections. Sourced from Tanzania, this tsavorite represents the material quality associated with that origin, and the cushion outline enhances the gem face up area while preserving a pleasing depth for durability and proportion.
Under varied lighting conditions the stone demonstrates predictable and attractive performance. In strong daylight the medium intensity green reads as vivid and evenly distributed, with the mixed brilliant faceting producing lively brilliance and small flashes of scintillation as the gem moves. Under warm incandescent lighting the green can appear slightly warmer and richer, with deepened saturation that emphasizes the stone body color rather than contrasty dispersion. Under cool white LED or balanced artificial lighting the garnet retains its clarity and shows crisp white flashes from the brilliant facets, delivering a clean, lively appearance. Point lighting and spot illumination will accentuate the scintillation pattern and bring forward the step influenced pavilion depth, creating a pleasing play of light without excessive color zoning. Diffuse lighting softens surface reflections and highlights the evenness of the medium color intensity, useful when assessing setting choices.
The combination of eye clean clarity and excellent polish means the mixed brilliant cut communicates light without obstruction, so settings that allow light access through the pavilion enhance perceived brightness. Prong settings maximize brilliance, while bezel settings tend to emphasize color and saturation. The natural, untreated origin, along with the measured dimensions and carat weight, make this tsavorite a straightforward, reliable choice for both classic and contemporary jewelry, and it comes to you through The Natural Gemstone Company with clear specification and provenance.
