This natural mint garnet is a 1.24 carat oval, a green grossular garnet sourced from the Merelani hills of Tanzania, the same deposit that produces tsavorite. It measures 7.8 by 5.7mm and carries a fresh spring-green color that reads bright in daylight. Priced at $750, it is one stone with a stated origin behind it, not a mass-cut commercial gem sold by the parcel.

Mint garnet sits at roughly 7.5 on the Mohs hardness scale, which makes it a solid choice for everyday rings, though it is a touch softer than sapphire. If you are very hard on your hands, a harder stone may suit you better. Like most garnets, this one is untreated, so its color is entirely natural. It looks at home in the Olympia setting, the Arcadia setting, or a one-of-a-kind custom design.

Bohemi does not sell loose stones on their own. Each gem is set into a finished piece, either an engagement ring or a custom project designed with you by Heather and her team in Boulder, Colorado. If this mint garnet speaks to you, start with our engagement rings and we will build the rest around it.

Where is this mint garnet from?

This mint garnet was mined in the Merelani hills of Tanzania, the same deposit famous for tsavorite. Its origin is stated on the listing rather than left vague.

Is mint garnet good for daily wear?

Mint garnet sits at about 7.5 on the Mohs scale, which is good for everyday rings but softer than sapphire at 9. If you are very hard on your hands, ask Heather about a harder stone.

Is this garnet treated?

No. Like most garnets, this Merelani stone is natural and untreated, so its green color is entirely its own. Nothing has been added to enhance it.

Can I buy just the stone?

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