{"product_id":"tsavorite","title":"1.07 ct Natural Unheated Tsavorite Garnet – Round Cut | Kenya","description":"\u003cp\u003eA natural 1.07 carat tsavorite garnet in a round cut, completely untreated and documented on AGCL Report #M2513969. Tsavorite is a calcium aluminum silicate (grossular garnet) colored by trace vanadium and chromium, producing vivid jewel-tone greens that rival or surpass the finest emerald in color intensity. It was discovered in 1967 in Kenya's Tsavo region and has never required treatment of any kind — no heating, no oiling, no filling. At 1.07 carats in a round cut, this is a versatile center-stone format in one of the rarest green gemstones available.\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\"Tsavorite is, carat for carat, one of the rarest gemstones I work with — global production is a fraction of what comes out of the emerald or ruby mines, and virtually none of it needs treatment to look this good.
