1.72 Ct. Tsavorite Garnet from Tanzania

From the emerald slopes of Tanzania to the careful hands of master cutters, this tsavorite garnet tells a story of light and labor, of earth and artistry. Mined in a region where pockets of vibrant green are rare and celebrated, this transparent 1.72 carat pear shape stone began as a hidden crystalline seed deep within metamorphic rock. Miners and local communities worked together to reveal fragments of this vivid material, and each rough was selected for its potential to refract and sing with color. At our cutting studio the rough was examined and mapped, then fashioned into a refined pear shape with a mixed brilliant cut that maximizes scintillation. Measuring 7.50 by 7.32 by 4.35 mm, the stone presents intense color intensity and an eye clean clarity grade when viewed at eye level, qualities that make its faceted planes dance with lively, saturated green. The polish is excellent, and the gem has been heat treated as an enhancement to stabilize and enrich the hue. The Natural Gemstone Company proudly offers this tsavorite as a testament to responsible sourcing and careful craftsmanship, a gem that carries the spirit of its Tanzanian origin into a finished jewel.

This tsavorite bridges the gap between everyday elegance and formal glamour, making it a versatile choice for a range of settings and styles. Its pear silhouette flatters a solitaire pendant or a refined cocktail ring, while the mixed brilliant cut ensures sparkling presence under both casual daylight and dramatic evening lighting. Because the gem is transparent and eye clean, it lends itself to open settings that celebrate clarity, and because its color is intense yet balanced, it pairs beautifully with warm metals for classic looks or with cool metals for contemporary contrast. Heat treatment has enhanced the stability of the color, meaning the stone will retain its vivid tone through years of wear when set with normal care. For those who desire a bespoke piece, our team can recommend mounting styles that protect the girdle and pavilion while showcasing the gem, and we can provide detailed imagery and appraisal information upon request. This tsavorite is not only a treasure from Tanzania, it is a wearable story that moves seamlessly from everyday moments to life defining celebrations.
