Description

I've decided to offer up this lovely tsavorite... I'm saving up for a project and while I really love this gem, I think I can let it go if someone wants it (I still have a couple of other tsavs even if this one sells, lol).

I bought this not too long ago from a well known PS boardie. If I remember correctly, she told me at the time that this is the type of tsavorite rough that is selling for $600-700 per carat (and higher!) now. This tsav is the very desirable darker material. It's a gorgeous dark green with flashes of bright green coming off the gem. It is not precision cut, but it's not at all badly cut. It's approx 5.1 mm cushion. It is .84 cts. It also has that beautiful blue modifier that is so desirable in a tsav - you can really see it in incandescent lighting. This gem has never been set. It is not completely clean but it is mostly eye clean; there's nothing too distracting. I can really only see one eye visible inclusion, but it blends in pretty well.

Please note that this IS what I would consider darker tsav material; I can send more pics or try to answer questions about the color if requested. I think it's closest to "medium dark/dark" tsavorite. It's very beautiful, especially if you like the darker material, but it does show some extinction, especially when viewed in lighting that isn't bright enough.

Asking $225 shipped in the US. I'm pretty firm on the price as this is less than I paid, and I'd like to get close to what I had in it - and I think it's worth it :). And I've seen similar gems with much higher price tags...

I apologize for the pics - I find tsavs VERY hard to photograph accurately! This one is dark, but with bright green sparkle that the pics don't capture very well. The green itself is very nice with that great blue secondary that makes it pop, especially in certain lighting. The fourth pic was taken by the previous owner, not by me, so credit goes to her! This one shows the cutting pretty well though, which is why I included it. The last pic shows the tsav next to some of my other gems, which are not for sale/not included.

Shipping included in price, within US only.

I answer questions quickly, and will do my best to make sure you have all info before buying.
