2.42 Ct. Tsavorite Garnet from Kenya

A rare opportunity has arrived for the collector who seeks a piece that combines natural beauty with meticulous cutting, an oval green tsavorite garnet of exceptional presence and character. This transparent 2.42 carat gem, measuring 9.22 by 6.84 by 4.20 millimeters, carries a medium intense green that is lively yet refined, the very essence of tsavorite that connoisseurs prize. From the moment light meets its surface, this garnet announces itself not simply as a stone, but as a jewel destined for discerning ownership, a piece that will feel at home in an exclusive collection or as the centerpiece of a bespoke commission. At The Natural Gemstone Company we present this gem as a singular offering, a stone that will not be replicated frequently, and that will appeal to those who appreciate both rarity and the quiet confidence that comes from wearing something fundamentally natural and unenhanced.

What sets this tsavorite apart is its masterful mixed brilliant cut and the precise geometric faceting that has been applied to maximize the spectacle of light. The faceting geometry balances a scintillating crown with a pavilion architecture designed to capture, reflect, and return light with exceptional vigor. The mixed brilliant arrangement fuses the depth and flash of brilliant cutting with strategic step elements to create a dance of flashes and broad luminous windows, producing moments of intense fire interspersed with bright, pure green flashes. Because the polish is excellent, each facet acts as a mirror, amplifying brilliance and ensuring that the stone exhibits crisp, lively scintillation from a range of viewing angles. The overall result is a gemstone that plays with light in a way few garnets can, giving wearers a constantly changing visual experience that rewards close observation and admiration from afar.

Clarity and finish further elevate this gem, it is judged as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, a grade that affirms the stone is essentially clean to observation while retaining the organic character that accompanies true natural gems. These inclusions are minimal and do not interfere with the gemological purity or the way light moves through the stone, instead they add a fingerprint of nature that confirms authenticity and origin. There has been no enhancement to alter color or clarity, meaning the vibrant medium intense green you see is the gem in its honest state, an honest statement from the heart of Kenya. The excellent polish enhances facet edges and ensures durability of brilliance, while the oval shape and proportion give the stone an elegant silhouette that complements both classic and contemporary settings. The provenance of Kenya imbues the piece with an additional layer of desirability, as Kenyan tsavorite is celebrated for its lively hues and fine crystal quality, attributes that are well represented in this particular gem.
