2.24 Ct. Tsavorite Garnet from Tanzania

There is something quietly noble about a gemstone that carries both geological rarity and a story that reaches back through time, and this Tanzanian tsavorite garnet embodies that lineage with quiet authority. Garnets have been prized by civilizations for millennia, worn by kings and sailors, set into ceremonial jewelry and passed down as family heirlooms, and tsavorite represents the modern continuation of that ancient heritage. Discovered less than a century ago yet instantly admired for its pure, verdant hues, tsavorite links the classical symbolism of the garnet family with the vivid green that has long been associated with renewal, prosperity and enduring elegance. At The Natural Gemstone Company we honor that continuity by presenting gemstones that are not only beautiful, but also steeped in provenance and provenance that enhances their intrinsic and sentimental value.

This particular gem is a transparent 2.24 carat cushion shape green tsavorite garnet, with precise dimensions of 7.41 x 6.99 x 5.22 mm, a mixed brilliant cut, a clarity grade of very slightly included as evaluated at eye level, vivid color intensity, and an excellent polish, and importantly no enhancement. Each of those specifications matters when assessing rare green garnets. The cushion shape is timeless, an architectural silhouette that flatters both vintage inspired and contemporary settings, while the mixed brilliant cut has been chosen to maximize scintillation and depth, allowing the vivid green to play across the pavilion and crown with lively fire. The 2.24 carat weight places this tsavorite in a category that is unusual and prized, because high quality tsavorites over two carats are comparatively rare, and the combination of transparency and eye clean clarity ensures that light flows unimpeded through the stone, amplifying its natural brilliance. The excellent polish speaks to the care taken by master cutters to reveal the gem s inner character, and the confirmed absence of enhancements preserves the truth of its color and structure, attributes that discerning collectors and jewelers value highly.

The fact that this tsavorite hails from Tanzania adds another layer of value that goes beyond physical beauty, because origin is a story of earth, time, and the hands that bring a gem from the mine to the market. Tanzanian deposits yield tsavorites with saturated, crisp greens that often rival or exceed other localities, due to the unique geological interplay of metamorphic host rocks and trace elements that impart color. When a gemstone carries a credible Tanzanian origin, it speaks both to geological pedigree and to a provenance that collectors respect, especially when paired with confirmation of natural, unenhanced state. In addition, responsibly sourced gems from East Africa connect the wearer to a landscape that is at once wild and ancient, a backdrop that enhances the romantic and historic associations of the piece. At The Natural Gemstone Company we place great importance on ethical sourcing and traceability, because a gem s history from cradle to setting enriches its cultural and monetary worth, making it more than a jewel, but a legacy.

To own this cushion tsavorite from Tanzania is to possess a vivid fragment of the earth s artistry, a gem that promises to endure as an emblem of refinement and story. Whether you seek a center stone for a classic engagement ring, an accent that elevates an heirloom design, or an investment grade specimen to add to a curated collection, this gem meets the highest standards of connoisseurship. Our team at The Natural Gemstone Company is available to advise on appropriate settings that preserve the stone s proportions and maximize light performance, and we can facilitate independent grading confirmation if desired. For care and longevity, simple periodic cleaning and secure mounting will ensure this tsavorite continues to reflect its Tanzanian origins and historical resonance for generations to come, transforming natural rarity into a timeless treasure.
