2.04 Ct. Tsavorite Garnet from Madagascar

This is a beautiful transparent 2.04 carat emerald cut green tsavorite garnet, precisely measured at 8.62 by 6.39 by 4.14 mm, offered by The Natural Gemstone Company. The stone displays a vivid color intensity and an eye clean clarity grade as evaluated at eye level, which means the pavilion and crown conduct light with minimal internal disturbance. The excellent polish enhances surface reflectivity, producing broad, even flashes across the step facets of the emerald cut. Originating from Madagascar, and untreated with no enhancements, this tsavorite represents a desirable combination of natural origin, strong color saturation, and clean clarity that collectors and connoisseurs seek, especially when the cutter has favored an emerald cut to maximize color depth and yield a refined, elegant profile suitable for classic jewelry settings.

When discussing reflective qualities in context, tsavorite garnet sits in a distinct place among green gemstones. Its higher refractive index relative to beryl emeralds and many peridots results in stronger light return and a livelier overall brilliance, even though garnets typically exhibit less dispersion or "fire" than some demantoid garnets. The emerald cut on this piece emphasizes broad flashes and rich color rather than the small scale scintillation of round brilliant cuts, so what you perceive is a vivid, saturated green that reads as intense in daylight and under artificial illumination. Compared with natural emeralds, which often show more internal features and lower refractive index leading to a softer glow, this tsavorite delivers a cleaner, more luminous appearance without the need for clarity treatments. Compared with high dispersion demantoid garnets, this tsavorite will show less rainbow fire but will outperform many greens in pure green saturation and consistent face up color. Against peridot and chrome diopside, tsavorite offers superior hardness and durability for daily wear, along with a more steadfast green that resists the yellowish or bluish lean some other greens display. For the educated buyer, this Madagascar tsavorite in an emerald cut combines gemological integrity, excellent polish, and optimized facet architecture to present a stone that balances brilliance, color intensity, and practical wearability, making it a compelling piece for investment or a signature setting.
