{"product_id":"tsavorite-garnet","title":"1.85 ct Natural Tsavorite Garnet – Rectangular Cushion Cut | GIA Certified | Kenya","description":"\u003cp\u003eA 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\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\"A 1.85 ct rectangular cushion is a genuinely uncommon format for tsavorite — most rough this size gets cut oval or rounded cushion, since holding even saturation across an elongated rectangular outline demands larger, cleaner crystal.
