1.79 ct Natural Clarity-Enhanced Tsavorite Garnet – Round Cut | GIA Certified | Kenya

A 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.

Rarity Analysis

A 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 Tsavorite Garnet Buyer's Guide), so an enhanced stone is the exception, not the premium case. What genuinely sets this particular stone apart is the combination of cut, size, and disclosure:

• Round cut in tsavorite is genuinely uncommon. Because tsavorite rough is typically small and irregular, most cutters favor oval, cushion, or pear shapes to retain carat weight — a well-proportioned round brilliant like this one sacrifices yield for optical performance.
• Above 1.5 carats is a real size threshold for tsavorite. Fine rough large enough to yield a stone at this weight is limited, and per our buyer's guide, prices per carat step up sharply once a stone crosses the 1-carat and 2-carat marks.
• Vivid yellowish-green color — a warm-toned position in the tsavorite color range that reads bright and saturated in most lighting, rather than the cooler pure-green or bluish-green positions.
• GIA documentation with the enhancement stated outright. Clarity-enhanced colored stones are common across the market but not always disclosed by the seller; here the treatment is named on the report and repeated on this page rather than buried or omitted.
• Very Slightly Included clarity — a high clarity grade for the species, with the enhancement present specifically to secure that grade rather than to mask a heavily included stone.

Buying Guidance

This stone is a strong option for a buyer who wants tsavorite's brilliance and color at a lower cost basis than untreated material, provided the care routine is followed. Before buying, keep the following in mind:

• Care around the enhancement matters. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners, steam cleaners, and prolonged exposure to extreme heat — all of which can compromise a clarity enhancement. Clean with mild soap, warm water, and a soft brush only.
• Price context: at $1,790 for 1.79 carats, this stone runs about $1,000 per carat — below the $1,200–$2,800/ct range our Tsavorite Garnet Buyer's Guide cites for fine, eye-clean, untreated tsavorite in this size range. That gap is the enhancement discount, not a lower-quality stone.
• Verify the report matches the stone before purchase or at delivery: carat weight, measurements, and the "Clarity Enhanced" note in GIA's Additional Results field should all match GIA Report #2241032043 exactly.
• Setting choice should account for the enhancement too. A protective setting (bezel or protected prongs) reduces the everyday knocks that any center stone takes, which matters slightly more here than on an untreated stone.
• If an untreated stone matters more to you than price, compare this listing against our other in-stock tsavorite before deciding — see Learn More below for what's currently available.

Why Choose this 1.79 ct Round Tsavorite Garnet

Round-cut tsavorite at above 1.5 carats is a versatile format for one of the most brilliant green gemstone species — the round cut maximizes the light return and liveliness of the vivid green, performing well in solitaire settings, halo designs, and three-stone rings. GIA Report #2241032043 provides independent documentation of weight, dimensions, species, and treatment status, so the clarity enhancement is confirmed rather than taken on faith.

Key Benefits

• Clarity Enhanced, Fully Disclosed
  GIA Report #2241032043 confirms a clarity enhancement — disclosed honestly here, along with the care it requires, rather than left unmentioned.
• GIA-Documented
  Independent confirmation of species, weight, dimensions, and treatment status.
• Round Brilliant Rarity
  A round-cut tsavorite above 1.5 carats — an uncommon format, since most rough is cut oval or cushion to preserve weight.
• Value at Price
  Roughly $1,000 per carat — below typical untreated tsavorite pricing at this size and color, reflecting the enhancement honestly rather than concealing it in the price.
• Superior to Emerald in Durability
  7–7.5 on the Mohs scale — more robust than emerald for ring and pendant use, though care should still avoid ultrasonic/steam cleaning due to the clarity enhancement.
• Trusted, Transparent Source
  Kenya origin (store's assessment) with the treatment status stated plainly rather than glossed over.

Care

Because this stone is clarity enhanced, its care routine is stricter than for an untreated tsavorite. Clean only with mild soap, warm water, and a soft brush. Do not use ultrasonic or steam cleaners — both can compromise the clarity enhancement — and avoid exposure to extreme heat, including a jeweler's torch during any future repair or resizing work (tell your jeweler the stone is enhanced before any such work). Store separately from harder gems to prevent surface abrasion, and remove the piece before swimming, exercise, or household chemical use.
