From the heart of Tanzania, where ancient geological forces folded and heated the earth over millennia, this green tsavorite garnet began its long and patient journey. Born in pockets of grossular-rich rock, this 1.56 carat cushion shaped gem inherited a rare, medium intense green that carries the lushness of highland forests and the clear clarity of river springs. Miners in Tanzania, working with generations of knowledge and respect for the land, carefully extracted rough crystals that would go on to be studied and selected for their potential. The rough that became this gem showed promise in both color and crystal quality, and it was chosen for the hands of master cutters who understood how to reveal the stone's inner life. Polishing and shaping were performed with meticulous attention to the stone's natural inclinations, yielding an excellent polish and a mixed brilliant cut that catches light with lively flashes, while preserving the gem's natural depth and character.
The finished gem is a study in confident elegance, sized and shaped to be a true statement piece. At 1.56 carats and measuring 8.21 x 5.78 x 3.57 mm, the cushion profile balances presence with wearability, offering a surface that is grand enough to command attention and refined enough to sit comfortably in a bespoke ring or a striking pendant. The clarity grade is slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which means the gem shows only gentle, natural inclusions that affirm its authenticity and origin without interrupting its brilliance. With no enhancement, the color and clarity are wholly natural, a pure testament to Tanzania's mineral richness and the gem cutting tradition that shaped it. The mixed brilliant cut multiplies scintillation and fire, making this tsavorite appear larger face up than its carat weight might suggest, perfect for those who wish to wear a bold, natural jewel that tells a story. Offered by The Natural Gemstone Company, this tsavorite carries provenance, craftsmanship, and a narrative that will translate into every design, making it ideal for a custom statement piece that honors both nature and artistry.
