This pear shape green tsavorite garnet weighs 2.77 carats, and measures 10.90 by 7.85 by 4.66 mm, and is presented by The Natural Gemstone Company, and it is a transparent, intensely colored example of this rare grossular garnet. The gem is cut in a mixed brilliant design, and it exhibits an excellent polish, and no enhancement has been applied, and its origin is Tanzania. At eye level the clarity is graded slightly included, and these modest internal characteristics are typical for natural tsavorite, and they confirm authenticity without compromising face up brilliance. The intense color intensity is a primary value driver for tsavorite, and this specimen displays the vivid, evenly distributed green that collectors and connoisseurs seek, and its transparent body color allows for lively light return and vivid saturation in finished jewelry.
The geometric faceting of this mixed brilliant pear is engineered to maximize light play, and the crown and pavilion facets work together to collect and return light with strong scintillation and contrast. The pear outline provides a dynamic combination of brilliant flashes near the pointed tip, and broad, velvety color across the rounded end, and the proportioning of table to depth preserves both sparkle and apparent size. Because the pavilion angles are optimized for garnet refractive index, this stone yields intense internal reflections and lively dispersion, and the excellent polish ensures clean facet junctions for uninterrupted light flow. Slight inclusions are positioned and sized so that they do not distract from the gem when set, and they add telling evidence of natural formation for the educated buyer. With a Mohs hardness suitable for most jewelry applications, and with a natural, unheated origin from Tanzania, this 2.77 carat pear tsavorite from The Natural Gemstone Company represents a durable investment grade gem, and it is a compelling choice for a centrepiece ring or custom pendant where geometric faceting and pure color take visual priority.
