1.67 Ct. Tsavorite Garnet from Tanzania

From the slow heartbeat of the earth to the light that dances across a finished facet, this tsavorite tells a story that begins deep within Tanzania. Hidden for millennia in pockets of metamorphic rock, this green garnet was born where heat and pressure had time to weave chromium and vanadium into a brilliant green soul. Local miners, working with generations of knowledge and patient hands, carefully removed the raw crystal from its dark cradle. At The Natural Gemstone Company we treasure that first moment of discovery because it is the point at which nature and human care meet. That meeting is the true beginning of a journey that moves from the mineral world into the intimate world of a jewel worn close to the heart.

The gem you see here is a transparent 1.67 carat oval tsavorite garnet with dimensions of 8.12 x 6.30 x 4.48 mm. It carries a mixed brilliant cut that balances scintillation with depth, chosen to reveal the stone’s vivid color intensity while preserving weight and proportions ideal for a ring or pendant. Evaluated at eye level, its clarity grade is slightly included, and those small natural signatures are visible only to a thoughtful eye. They do not diminish its beauty, they endow it with character. The polish has been brought to an excellent finish, every facet meeting with crisp definition, and the gem has received absolutely no enhancement, remaining in its pure and natural state. These are the facts, and they are the language of trust between you and The Natural Gemstone Company.

The human chapters of this gem’s story were written in the cutting room where a master cutter studied each internal feature and made decisions that would coax the most luminous green from its heart. The mixed brilliant cut is a deliberate compromise that allows crown facets to sparkle like morning dew, and pavilion facets to open like a secret window to the gem’s depths. Slight inclusions act like tiny memories suspended within the stone, catching light and scattering it into soft flashes that remind one of first meetings in a shaded garden. The vivid green speaks of renewal, of the hush of leaf lit glades, and when set against skin it seems to breathe. In many cultures green has always been the color of hope and new beginnings, and this tsavorite seems to carry that sentiment in every facet. As a gemstone specialist at The Natural Gemstone Company I have seen many stones, yet this one has a particular voice, an intimate clarity that reads like a love letter written by the earth itself.

Imagine this oval tsavorite cradled in a simple bezel that lets its color sing, or in a delicate halo that amplifies its sparkle and frames it like a precious window. Consider an engagement ring where the stone’s vivid green is a promise of growth and renewal. Picture a pendant that rests over the heart, the light catching its mixed brilliant facets as the day moves, a private aurora for someone who chooses to keep beauty close. Care is straightforward because the gem is naturally robust, and its excellent polish rewards gentle cleaning with warm water and a soft brush. At The Natural Gemstone Company we stand behind provenance and authenticity, and we welcome questions about setting ideas, certifications, or custom designs. This tsavorite arrives to you as a 1.67 carat oval, 8.12 x 6.30 x 4.48 mm, mixed brilliant cut, slightly included at eye level, vivid in color, with excellent polish and no enhancement, a gemstone that began its journey in the rocks of Tanzania and is now ready to become an enduring part of your own story.
