This exquisite transparent tsavorite garnet offered by The Natural Gemstone Company weighs 2.49 carats, and presents a classic cushion shape with dimensions of 8.12 x 6.79 x 5.31 mm, a mixed brilliant cut, and an excellent polish. The gem is graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, a clarity characteristic that allows for exceptional light transmission and visual purity while indicating natural formation as opposed to synthetic perfection. Its color intensity is classified as intense, delivering a vivid, saturated green that is characteristic of high quality tsavorite, and the stone is untreated, confirming natural color and structure. Originating from Tanzania, this tsavorite carries the geological pedigree that educated buyers value, reflecting the chromium and vanadium rich deposits that produce the most desirable green hues in grossular garnets.
The mixed brilliant cut and cushion outline work together to enhance this tsavorite garnet inherent optical properties, maximizing brilliance and scintillation while maintaining substantial color depth. The mixed brilliant style combines a step facet girdle and pavilion with brilliant style crown facets, producing strong internal reflection and a lively play of light, the result being a vibrant face up appearance with balanced flash and color. With the pavilion depth optimized to these dimensions, light entering the stone is efficiently returned through the crown, creating high contrast flashes and lively scintillation across the table and culet, while the well proportioned table preserves color saturation without windowing. Very slight inclusions present at eye level do not obstruct light paths, instead they attest to the gem natural origin and add to its character without diminishing brilliance, and the excellent polish ensures crisp facet junctions and uninterrupted light performance. For buyers seeking a significant, natural tsavorite that combines an intense, market desirable green, a premium mixed brilliant cut that amplifies reflection and sparkle, and trustworthy provenance from Tanzania, this 2.49 carat cushion tsavorite from The Natural Gemstone Company represents an exceptional choice.
