2.56 Ct. Tsavorite Garnet from Madagascar

At The Natural Gemstone Company we present a rare, transparent GIA certified yellowish green tsavorite garnet weighing 2.56 carats, a stone that stands apart from others on the market by virtue of its combination of color, clarity, and cut. This gem measures 8.62 by 6.56 by 5.18 millimeters, and its radiant shape has been executed to precise proportions that maximize light return and color saturation. Originating from Madagascar, and gently heat treated to stabilize and enhance its already vivid hue, this tsavorite offers the lively green tones collectors seek while maintaining a clarity that reads as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level. The GIA certification is your assurance of authenticity and measured quality, a contrast with many ungraded pieces available elsewhere which often claim color or weight without transparent verification.

Compared with emeralds this tsavorite shows important practical and aesthetic advantages, emeralds often carry significant inclusions and require surface treatments such as oiling, which makes long term care more demanding, while this tsavorite presents a cleaner window to the interior, producing consistent sparkle and a lively, lively face up appearance that does not rely on enhancement oils for its beauty. Against peridot the tsavorite registers greater brilliance and a richer, more saturated green that carries better under varied lighting, and when compared to green sapphires the tsavorite delivers an immediate, vibrant green that reads more alive to the eye, along with a refractive play that gives the stone a lively scintillation. The radiant cut is particularly effective for tsavorite, because its trimmed corners and combination of step and brilliant facet layouts create both broad flashes of color and a fine, lively scintillation, so the gem outperforms many similarly sized stones that are cut in less forgiving styles.

The quality of this particular tsavorite is what allows beauty to manifest from every angle, the combination of excellent polish and precise facet junctions means light enters the crown and returns through the table with minimal leakage, the radiant faceting pattern disperses light throughout the gem so the yellowish green tone remains evenly distributed across the surface and the pavilion depth of approximately sixty percent supports a balanced face up presence, making the stone appear larger and more luminous than many stones of the same weight. The very slightly included clarity grade means the inclusions are minor and do not interrupt the visual flow, they serve as natural fingerprints of origin rather than distractions, and because they are evaluated at eye level the gem maintains a clean, gemmy look under typical viewing. The brilliant polish creates mirror like facet planes so each facet edge snaps light into the next, creating crisp flashes that draw attention. From the top, the gem offers a broad, vivid table of color, from the sides the step facets add depth and a sense of movement, and under changing light the radiant cut renders lively contrast and a pleasing balance of brightness and color saturation.

For a buyer seeking the best balance of rarity, durability, and immediate visual impact this GIA certified Madagascar tsavorite delivers superior value, you are purchasing a stone that is transparently graded by a world class laboratory, heat treatment has been applied in a controlled manner to enhance stability and color, and the resulting combination of size, vividness, and finish outperforms many market alternatives that trade on weight or name recognition alone. At The Natural Gemstone Company we pair each stone with guidance for setting and care, recommending settings that showcase the radiant shape while protecting the corners, and offering bespoke mounting options that maintain the gem stability while maximizing light exposure. Whether you envision this 2.56 carat radiant tsavorite as the centerpiece of an engagement ring, a striking pendant, or a collection piece, its polished performance from every angle and its proven background make it a discerning choice for buyers who want a gem that is both beautiful and responsibly sourced.
