A natural 1.01 ct tsavorite garnet, Cushion, on AGCL Report #M263503, which records the stone’s weight, measurements, shape and species. Tsavorite is the green variety of grossular garnet, coloured by trace vanadium and chromium. The identification and measurements are the report’s; colour, clarity, treatment and origin here are our own assessment.
"A 1.01 carat cushion with green that holds evenly across the face is what I was buying here. The AGCL report settles the identification and the measurements and nothing more than that. Several things on this page are mine rather than the report's: I assess the stone as untreated, and I bought it as Kenyan material on our own purchase record. Nobody should read an origin determination off this report. The color and clarity descriptions here are mine as well."
Good to Know
What the report covers: weight, measurements, shape and species (#M263503). Treat colour, clarity, treatment and origin here as our own assessment, not lab findings.
Identity is the real check: a report recording grossular garnet confirms it is tsavorite, not one of the other green garnets sold under the name.
Setting: at Mohs 7–7.5 garnet is softer than corundum and GIA cautions against hard knocks — a bezel or protective mount suits ring wear.
