1.85 ct Natural Tsavorite Garnet – Rectangular Cushion Cut | GIA Certified | Kenya

A natural 1.85 carat tsavorite garnet in a rectangular cushion cut, certified by GIA (Report #6243017771). Tsavorite is one of the most brilliant green gemstones — a calcium aluminum silicate colored by vanadium and chromium, producing vivid jewel-tone greens that rival or surpass the finest emerald in color intensity. While tsavorite as a species is rarely treated, GIA's report on this specific stone notes clarity enhancement, which is disclosed honestly below. The rectangular cushion cut gives this stone a modern, elongated footprint with the warmth of cushion faceting — a distinctive format for a genuinely rare green gem. At 1.85 carats, this sits well above the typical 1-carat commercial range for tsavorite.

Rarity Analysis

A few factors make this specific tsavorite meaningfully scarcer than typical commercial material:

• Color: A deep, intensely saturated green — the vanadium/chromium palette that lets fine tsavorite compete visually with emerald, at a saturation level not common across the broader tsavorite market.
• Size: At 1.85 carats, this stone is well above the roughly 1-carat range where most commercial tsavorite sits; larger clean rough with consistent color is disproportionately harder to source as size increases.
• Treatment: Tsavorite as a species is rarely treated, but GIA's own report on this individual stone notes clarity enhancement under Additional Results — a disclosed exception rather than the norm for the variety.
• Cut: The rectangular cushion is an elongated, architectural format that most tsavorite cutters avoid in favor of oval or classic (rounder) cushion shapes, since it requires more of the crystal's length to hold color evenly.
• Documentation: GIA Identification Report #6243017771 independently confirms species (grossular garnet), variety (tsavorite), weight, shape, and the clarity enhancement noted above.
• Combined effect: A vivid, above-average-size tsavorite in an uncommon elongated cushion cut, with its treatment status independently disclosed rather than assumed — a combination that doesn't come up often in the tsavorite market.

Buying Guidance

A few practical points to weigh before purchasing this specific stone:

• View it in varied lighting. Deep, saturated greens like this tsavorite's can shift subtly between daylight and indoor lighting — worth checking both before you commit to a setting.
• Plan the setting around the rectangular outline. At 7.92 x 6.05 x 4.53mm, this stone's elongated cushion shape benefits from a setting with corner protection (prongs at the corners rather than only the sides) to secure the outline properly.
• Confirm treatment disclosure on any comparison stone. Because tsavorite is usually untreated, verify whether a competing stone's own lab report discloses clarity enhancement the way GIA Report #6243017771 does here — don't assume "tsavorite" alone means untreated.
• Weigh the size-and-cut combination against availability. As noted in the Rarity Analysis above, an above-1.5-carat rectangular cushion tsavorite with GIA documentation is not something you'll see replicated easily if this particular stone sells.
• Use the Try Before You Buy option if you would like to see the stone in hand before finalizing the purchase.

Why Choose this 1.85 ct Rectangular Cushion Tsavorite Garnet?

Tsavorite above 1.5 carats in a rectangular cushion format is uncommon — most tsavorite is cut oval or cushion (round-ish), and the elongated rectangular cushion requires larger rough crystal with sufficient color saturation across the entire length. At 1.85 carats, this stone has the face-up surface for a commanding green center stone, GIA-certified with treatment status disclosed transparently.
