0.77 ct Green Garnet-Tsavorite - Pear

At 0.77 carats, this tsavorite garnet from Kenya carries its green color through a pear cut, measuring 5.8 x 4 x 2.6 mm.

Tsavorite is the chrome-green grossular garnet of East Africa, a color comparable to fine emerald and often cleaner to the eye. Kenya's Taita Hills and the surrounding gem fields are the historic heart of East African garnet mining. It is wholly untreated, its color finished by geology rather than by any furnace or enhancement.

A single natural gemstone with no duplicate behind it; once it is set or collected, there is no other. It will outlast everyone who owns it, which is most of what an heirloom really is. Hand-selected and filmed by Caveman Gems in good light, shown as honestly as a screen allows.
