1.80 Ct. Tsavorite Garnet from Tanzania

This 1.80 carat cushion shape green tsavorite garnet presents a precise set of proportions, measuring 6.30 x 6.18 x 5.26 mm, and is designated transparent Other certified Green. The mixed brilliant cut has been executed to optimize both color saturation and light performance, combining a brilliant style pavilion with a modified crown to produce strong table and bezel facet returns, engaging both broad flashes and scintillation. The clarity is graded very slightly included at eye level, which in this size range preserves full transparency while providing natural internal character without compromising light return. Vivid color intensity is evenly distributed across the stone, the excellent polish delivers crisp facet junctions and mirror like facet surfaces, and the lack of enhancement confirms that the color and clarity are wholly natural. Origin Tanzania, no enhancement, The Natural Gemstone Company stands behind the gemological details and the provenance information provided.

Comparatively, this tsavorite exhibits reflective qualities that balance strong brilliance with lively but measured dispersion, due to a typical grossular garnet refractive character near 1.74 to 1.75 and modest dispersion relative to some other garnet varieties. Versus demantoid garnet, which is notable for exceptional dispersion and pronounced fire, this tsavorite presents less spectral fire but greater perceived saturation and a cleaner green hue, producing a more vivid mass of color under mixed lighting. Compared to emerald, tsavorite offers markedly higher light return and apparent brightness because emeralds commonly display oil treatments and fissures that dampen scintillation, whereas this Tanzanian tsavorite combines durable polish retention with superior facet contrast. Against chrome diopside and peridot, the tsavorite benefits from a higher refractive index and harder surface, translating to sharper facet reflections, more distinct contrast between light and dark facet areas, and longer lasting polish, while maintaining a purer, more vivid green than the often bluish or yellowish tones seen in these alternatives. For buyers seeking technical refinement in cut, clarity, and unenhanced color, this cushion mixed brilliant tsavorite from The Natural Gemstone Company offers an optimal synthesis of craftsmanship and gemological performance.
