1.70 Ct. Tsavorite Garnet from Tanzania

Owning a truly exceptional tsavorite is a rare privilege, and this 1.70 carat cushion shape green tsavorite garnet is a distinguished example of nature at its most generous, offered exclusively through The Natural Gemstone Company. Sourced from the storied deposits of Tanzania, this gem presents an intense, lively green that rivals the finest in the spectrum, a color so pure and saturated it seems to glow from within. The proportions are finely balanced, with precise dimensions of 7.05 x 5.96 x 4.89 mm that allow the gem to command presence without overwhelming the wearer. Cut into a mixed brilliant cushion, this stone combines the scintillation of a modern brilliant with the soft, romantic silhouette of a cushion shape, producing crisp flashes and deep, velvety color in equal measure. Its clarity grade is described as very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, a testament to the exceptional rough from which it was faceted, and the polish is excellent, so the surface reads with mirror like smoothness that heightens the gem's apparent depth and brilliance. Importantly, this tsavorite has undergone no enhancement, making it a genuine, untreated treasure for collectors and connoisseurs who prize natural beauty over artifice. We present it as a singular offering, a bespoke opportunity to possess a gem that few will ever encounter, and an invitation to join an elite circle of collectors who appreciate the unaltered, luminous heart of the earth.

Beyond its visual allure, this tsavorite offers the practical advantage of strong everyday wearability, with an expected hardness on the Mohs scale of approximately 7 to 7.5. To put that in perspective, diamonds are a 10, sapphires and rubies are a 9, and common beryls and topaz range higher, while quartz sits at a 7, so tsavorite occupies a comfortable middle ground. It is appreciably resilient against scratches that afflict many softer gems, and with conscientious setting and care it will perform admirably in rings, pendants, and bracelets. For clients who seek both daily elegance and peace of mind, we recommend protective settings that respect the cushion shape, such as a bezel or a partial bezel which guards the girdle and corners while allowing light to enter the pavilion and crown, or a halo mounting which adds both security and dramatic light play. Routine care is simple, warm soapy water and a soft brush restore sparkle with minimal risk, and because this stone is untreated you avoid the complications or sensitivities associated with filled or coated gems. While it does not reach sapphire or diamond in surface hardness, its combination of vivid color, excellent clarity, and substantial toughness makes it an excellent candidate for frequent wear, especially when set with the considered craftsmanship we encourage for heirloom quality pieces.

Because truly rare stones deserve equally meticulous attention, The Natural Gemstone Company extends a bespoke service around this tsavorite that ensures the gem is transformed into a personal treasure, a one of one creation whose design echoes the singularity of the stone itself. Availability is intentionally limited, we curate and offer a small number of exceptional gems so our clients receive pieces that remain uncommon and highly collectible, and this stone is presented as part of that exacting selection. For those who wish to commission a custom setting, we collaborate with master jewelers to recommend metals and design motifs that complement the intense green and cushion silhouette, from classic four prong mounts that celebrate the stone to modern micro pave halos that amplify fire and presence. We also provide advisory support on insurance appraisal and long term care, so the experience of owning this tsavorite is seamless from selection to daily wear. Owning this gem places you within an exclusive group who value authenticity, provenance, and the quiet distinction of natural beauty, and we would be honored to guide you through the next steps. Contact The Natural Gemstone Company to reserve this rare Tanzanian tsavorite, discuss custom design options, and arrange a private viewing, and join the select few who possess a gemstone of such natural intensity and enduring character.
