Quality

Due to its luminous green color and extraordinary brilliance, the popularity and demand of the Tsavorite Garnet gemstone are growing with every passing day. It is recognized as one of the most well-prized varieties of Garnet. It is important for the buyers to understand the factors determining the quality and value of this gemstone so as to buy the best quality Tsavorite Garnet gemstone.

• Colour

   – In the gemstone industry, Tsavorite is valued for its crisp chrome green hue that can rival even some fine quality Emeralds. In the markets, one can find Tsavorite Garnet loose stones in a range of colours from light green to deep bluish green. Tsavorite with deep green color and medium to strong saturation is regarded as the finest quality.

• Clarity

   – Tsavorite is regarded as a Type II clarity gemstone which means the majority of stones are expected to have some natural inclusions visible to the unaided eyes. Due to geographical factors, most of the Tsavorites gemstones contain typical inclusions such as liquid crystals, small feathers, needles and small chips. The highly transparent, eye-clean Tsavorite Garnet gemstones are hard to find and extremely valuable.

• Cut

   – Although it has the least impact on the quality but cutting style is still important. In the market, one can find Tsavorite gemstones in various shapes and cut. Clean, transparent, high-quality Tsavorite rough is often faceted in a variety of shapes such as oval, round, cushion or pear etc. In contrast, the Tsavorite Garnet rough with high inclusions and low transparency is mostly cut to form smooth and well-polished cabochons (non-faceted, polished gems).

Tsavorite Prices

Over the years, Tsavorite has emerged as a premium gemstone despite being relatively new in the gemstone world. The promotional activities of Tiffany&Co further catalysed the Tsavorite Garnet value and demand in the international market.

Note – In India, Tsavorite price per carat starts from Rs 2,500 per carat ($35 approx.) and may reach as much as Rs 1 lakh per carat plus($1500 approx.) for top quality pieces.

The cost of Tsavorite per carat also depends on the place of purchase. For instance, Tsavorite Garnet price per carat in the UK, USA or UAE may differ from Tsavorite Garnet prices in India because of certain commercial considerations such as supply, gem cutting & polishing rates etc.

• Colour

   – Just like other coloured gemstones, Tsavorite is also prized for its colour. The deeper, the better. Therefore, the price of Tsavorite shoots up substantially for the dazzling deep green piece, sometimes with a bluish hint. Tsavorite gemstone prices drop only if the color is overly dark or light yellowish green.

• Carat weight

   – After colour, carat weight has the most profound effect on the Tsavorite Garnet price in India as well as in other international locations. Tsavorite gems above 2 carats are extreme rarity and thus the price of Tsavorite per carat rises exponentially when the size and quality of piece increase on the same scale.

• Clarity

   – Due to the harsh geographical conditions in which Tsavorite Garnets are formed, most of the pieces are bound to have natural imperfections. If the colour is phenomenal, the cost of Tsavorite gems doesn’t fluctuate much because of few visible inclusions. However, the price of Tsavorite per carat increases exponentially for rare, highly clean and transparent specimens.
