2.83 Ct. Tsavorite Garnet from Tanzania

This heart shape tsavorite garnet weighs 2.83 carats, and measures 9.20 by 9.45 by 4.98 mm, its proportions yield an overall depth of approximately 53 percent, a balance that preserves face up spread while maintaining sufficient pavilion volume for strong light performance. The stone is executed in a mixed brilliant cut, combining a brilliant crown facet arrangement with precision pavilion facets, this approach increases scintillation while controlling windowing, the cutter has maintained tight symmetry across the lobes and the cleft of the heart, the excellent polish allows sharp facet junctions and crisp facet reflection, transparency is high, clarity is graded slightly included at eye level, these minor inclusions are typical of natural tsavorite and remain discreet against the gem's vivid color intensity, no enhancement has been applied, and the material is an untreated Tanzanian tsavorite, the origin contributing to the stone's notable pure green hue and saturation.

Rarity is the defining characteristic of this gem, tsavorites of similar vivid green and transparent quality seldom reach this weight and this pleasing heart outline, most commercial tsavorites of vivid tone are found in smaller sizes, and larger stones often show darker or uneven color distribution, this example is exceptional because it pairs a rare size above two and a half carats with an even, vivid chroma and clean table, collectors and connoisseurs will appreciate the controlled pavilion angles and the cutter's restraint in preserving weight without sacrificing optical performance, The Natural Gemstone Company presents this gem as a centerpiece stone for bespoke jewelry, the heart shape proportions and robust pavilion depth make it ideal for a three prong or four prong solitaire setting that secures the cleft and balances light return, alternatively a low profile bezel with open gallery can protect the lobes while maximizing face up brilliance, for customers seeking a scarce, untreated green garnet of technical merit, this Tanzanian heart tsavorite stands out for its dimensional rarity, color purity, and advanced cutting craftsmanship.
