1.94ct Cushion Green Merelani Mint Tsavorite Garnet from Tanzania

Garnet is a family of minerals so broad and so varied that its full chromatic range remains unknown to most of the jewelry world — from the deep crimson of Mozambique rhodolite to the neon orange of Namibian spessartite and the vivid green of Tsavorite. This 1.94 cts Grossular Garnet Mint Garnet of very slightly yellowish Green moderately strong hue from Tanzania was selected for the Skyjems Archive not as an afterthought, but as a deliberate acquisition. It is entirely unheated and untreated — a distinction that places it in the top fraction of the global Grossular Garnet Mint Garnet supply and is the single most important value driver in the collector market. Tanzania's gemstone belt is one of the most geologically diverse on earth, producing tanzanite, tsavorite, spinel, and sapphire from a single extraordinary geological system.
