This natural mint garnet is a 1.09-carat oval measuring 6.8 x 5.5mm, with a soft green color that reads fresh and modern in an engagement ring. Priced at $980, the stone was mined in Merelani, Tanzania, the same district that produces tsavorite and tanzanite. Each stone is hand-selected by Heather and her team at their Boulder, Colorado studio.

Mint garnet is prized for being natural and untreated, so its color comes straight from the earth rather than a lab process. On the Mohs hardness scale it sits at 7.5, which holds up well for everyday wear, though it is slightly softer than sapphire, so anyone very hard on their hands may prefer a harder stone. It pairs beautifully with the Olympia setting or the Arcadia Small setting.

Bohemi does not sell loose gemstones on their own. This mint garnet is set into a finished engagement ring or built into a custom project designed with you. Reach out to Heather and her team to see it in person in Boulder, or explore the full range of engagement rings.

Where is this mint garnet from?

This 1.09ct mint garnet was mined in Merelani, Tanzania, the same region known for tsavorite and tanzanite. Heather and her team in Boulder, Colorado hand-select each stone. Its soft green color comes straight from the earth.

Is this mint garnet treated?

No. This is a natural, untreated mint garnet, so its green color is entirely natural. Garnet is one of the gem families that is very rarely treated, unlike many stones on the commercial market.

Is mint garnet good for daily wear?

Mint garnet sits at 7.5 on the Mohs scale, which holds up well for everyday wear. It is a touch softer than sapphire at 9, so someone very hard on their hands might prefer a harder stone. A protective setting like the Olympia helps guard the edges.

Can I buy this stone loose?

Bohemi does not sell loose gemstones on their own. This mint garnet is set into an engagement ring or a custom project designed with Heather and her team in Boulder, Colorado.
