Earth-mined green tsavorite garnet weighing 0.47ct ETW in a pear cut from Kenya, featuring slightly included clarity and unheated character.
This tsavorite displays naturally occurring green coloration, with its pear-shaped faceting creating attractive reflections and an elegant elongated appearance. Its unheated character is especially appealing, as tsavorite is generally valued for its natural color without the need for routine enhancement treatments.
Tsavorite is the green variety of grossular garnet, a member of the garnet mineral group. Its distinctive green coloration is primarily associated with trace amounts of vanadium and sometimes chromium. Unlike emerald, which belongs to the beryl family, tsavorite offers a different combination of optical properties, brilliance, and mineral characteristics.
Kenya holds a particularly important place in tsavorite's history. The gemstone was discovered in East Africa and later named in honor of Kenya's Tsavo region, helping establish tsavorite as one of the most celebrated green garnet varieties. Its limited geographic sources and increasing scarcity in larger, fine-quality sizes contribute to its appeal among gemstone enthusiasts.
At 0.47 carats with dimensions of 6.0 x 3.7 x 2.8 mm, this tsavorite offers delicate proportions suitable for a custom ring or pendant. Its graceful pear shape lends itself beautifully to elegant solitaire settings, minimalist jewelry, and designs that emphasize the gemstone's natural green color.
With a hardness of approximately 6.5 to 7.5 on the Mohs scale, tsavorite provides good suitability for jewelry when properly protected. The combination of Kenyan origin, natural green coloration, and distinctive pear-cut proportions gives this individual gemstone an attractive presentation.
A lovely earth-mined green tsavorite garnet offering beautiful natural color, elegant teardrop styling, and the distinctive appeal of one of East Africa's most treasured gemstones.
