3.11 Ct. Tsavorite Garnet from Tanzania

Hidden for eons beneath the weathered landscapes of Tanzania, this tsavorite began its story as a whisper of chromium rich mineral within metamorphic rock, slowly forming under gentle heat and ancient pressure. Miners working in the verdant, highland deposits followed traditional methods passed down through generations, listening for the subtle glint that betrays a gem ready to be freed from the earth. When the rough crystal was discovered, local hands and experienced eyes carefully selected the piece for its transparency and grain, recognizing the potential for a fine gem. At The Natural Gemstone Company we honor that journey from mine to master cutter, and we celebrate the people and the place that gave us this 3.11 carat oval tsavorite garnet.

The stone you hold in this description measures 9.74 x 7.68 x 5.96 mm, it is oval in shape with a mixed brilliant cut designed to balance fire and brilliance, and it displays an eye clean clarity grade as evaluated at eye level. Its color is a medium intense color intensity that sings with verdant green tones, and the polish is excellent, allowing facet junctions to shine and internal light to dance freely. There has been no enhancement to alter its natural beauty, so you receive the gem exactly as the earth intended. Our master cutters at The Natural Gemstone Company chose the mixed brilliant design specifically for this piece to maximize its scintillation and to preserve weight while refining the proportions, ensuring that every table and pavilion facet contributes to a lively play of light. The result is a gem that flashes green from within, offering both depth and lively surface brilliance, and its eye clean clarity means that at normal viewing distances the field of green appears pristine and uninterrupted.

This tsavorite is not only a treasure of today, it is a companion for years to come, its natural hardness and stable chemical structure lending resilience to daily wear when set and cared for properly. Because there is no enhancement, you can trust that its color will remain consistent through routine cleaning and gentle exposure to sunlight, while the excellent polish will continue to reflect light beautifully after professional cleaning or occasional light repolishing. Over the years its deep green will develop a personal narrative as it catches the light in different rooms and seasons, creating moments of private delight and public admiration. Wear it as a ring, a pendant, or keep it as a collector gem, and it will accrue memories as well as value, each facet holding a small story of the Tanzanian ridges where it formed, the hands that shaped it, and our commitment at The Natural Gemstone Company to present natural stones with integrity and care. Let this 3.11 carat oval tsavorite garnet be the beginning of your own story, a piece that hums with geological history and crafted excellence, promising to captivate anew with every glance.
