{"product_id":"1-79-ct-round-tsavorite-garnet-clarity-enhanced-gia","title":"1.79 ct Natural Clarity-Enhanced Tsavorite Garnet – Round Cut | GIA Certified | Kenya","description":"\u003cp\u003eA natural 1.79 ct Round Tsavorite Garnet from Kenya, clarity enhanced, certified by GIA Report #2241032043. Tsavorite is calcium aluminum silicate (grossular garnet) colored by trace vanadium and chromium — the most brilliant green gemstone species available in the collector and fine jewelry market. GIA's Additional Results field for this stone reads \"Clarity Enhanced,\" meaning the report has identified an enhancement — most likely a fracture or cavity filling — used to improve the stone's apparent clarity. This is disclosed here in full: the enhancement means the stone requires gentler care than an untreated tsavorite (avoid ultrasonic and steam cleaning; see Care below), and it is priced accordingly, well below what a comparable untreated tsavorite of this size and color would command. The round cut's brilliant-faceted crown over a step-cut pavilion maximizes the liveliness of tsavorite's vivid yellowish-green across all lighting conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"border: 2px solid #5b2c6f; border-radius: 10px; padding: 20px 24px; margin: 28px 0; background-color: #f9f5fc;\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 12px; color: #4a235a;\"\u003eExpert Opinion\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 600; margin-bottom: 6px;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/crescentgems.com\/pages\/ahmed-shareek-about-the-owner\" style=\"color: #4a235a; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eAhmed Shareek\u003c\/a\u003e's Assessment\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-style: italic; margin-bottom: 0;\"\u003e\"I don't hide the clarity enhancement on this stone — GIA found it, and it's stated plainly on this listing. What I'd tell a buyer is that the color is the real story here: a lively, saturated yellowish-green in a round cut you rarely see in tsavorite, since most rough gets cut oval or cushion to save weight. At roughly $1,000 a carat, this is meaningfully below what an untreated tsavorite of this size and color would cost, and the enhancement is stable as long as you skip the ultrasonic cleaner. For a buyer who wants the look without the untreated-stone price, it's a fair trade, honestly made.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan role=\"text\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRarity Analysis\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA clarity-enhanced tsavorite is not rarer than an untreated one — if anything, the reverse: the vast majority of tsavorite on the market is untreated, since heat and fracture-filling rarely do anything useful to this species (see our \u003ca href=\"\/en-ca\/blogs\/information-pages-complete-guide\/tsavorite-garnet-buyers-guide\"\u003eTsavorite Garnet Buyer's Guide\u003c\/a\u003e), so an enhanced stone is the exception, not the premium case.
