Rough Tsavorite Garnets

Natural Rough Tsavorite Garnet – Facet Grade & Lapidary Material

Rough tsavorite garnet is one of the most sought-after green gemstone materials available to cutters, collectors, and gem traders. This collection brings together natural, untreated tsavorite rough sourced directly from primary mining regions including Kenya, Madagascar, and Nigeria — offered in a range of lot sizes, clarity grades, and carat weights to suit different cutting and collecting needs.

What This Collection Covers

Every listing in this collection is raw, uncut tsavorite garnet material. The range spans single crystals in the 7–60 carat range, multi-piece faceting lots from 50 to 500+ carats, preformed rough prepared for direct wheel work, and mixed parcel deals that include tsavorite alongside complementary green garnet varieties. Clarity grades run from translucent and included material suited to cabbing and specimen use, through to VS and eye-clean facet-grade rough capable of producing finished stones in the 1–5 mm range. Color across the collection moves from apple green and medium green through to vivid emerald-like tones — the deeper, more saturated material coming predominantly from Kenyan sources.

Who Buys From This Collection

Lapidary artists and faceting hobbyists sourcing cutting material by the lot. Gem dealers and wholesalers building inventory of rare East African rough. Mineral collectors acquiring tsavorite crystals for display. Jewelry designers who prefer to source rough and have stones cut to specification. Buyers entering the market for the first time who want starter-priced lots before committing to larger parcels.

Where Rough Tsavorite Is Used

Facet-grade material from this collection is cut into finished gemstones for use in fine jewelry — rings, pendants, and earrings where vivid green color is the primary value driver. Translucent and included rough is shaped into cabochons or retained as mineral specimens. Larger lots are purchased by gem dealers for resale or by cutters who process material in volume for trade shows and wholesale accounts.

Pricing Structure & Value

Listings are priced per lot rather than per carat, which means buyers receive a fixed parcel at a set price — making cost calculation straightforward. Entry-level lots start from $100 for small single-piece material, with mid-range faceting parcels running $150–$650 for 30–170 carat lots. High-volume cutting parcels of 190–500 carats are available from $1,000 to $1,550, representing strong per-carat value for professional cutters. Preformed lots, which reduce wheel time, are priced to reflect the additional preparation. Mixed parcel deals that include tsavorite alongside other facet-grade material offer the broadest variety per dollar spent.

Selecting the Right Lot for Your Purpose

For faceting finished stones, prioritize listings graded VS to eye-clean with vivid green color — these yield the best face-up appearance in cut form. For cabbing or lapidary practice, translucent and SI-grade material offers lower entry cost with workable clarity. If you are building dealer inventory, the 200–500 carat lots from Kenya provide consistent color and sufficient volume. For specimen collecting, single crystals with defined form and translucency are the better choice. Preformed lots suit cutters who want material already shaped to reduce grinding time on the wheel.

What Sets This Tsavorite Collection Apart

All tsavorite in this collection is 100% natural and untreated — no heat, no filling, no coating. Origin is documented per listing, with Kenya and Madagascar being the primary sources. Lot weights are stated in both carats and grams where applicable, and per-piece carat ranges are provided so buyers understand what individual pieces look like within a parcel. New arrivals are added regularly, and sold-out listings are marked clearly to avoid confusion.
