This natural mint garnet is a 1.03-carat pear-cut gemstone from the Merelani hills of Tanzania, the same deposit famous for tsavorite and mint grossular garnet. Its soft, spring-green color reads fresh and modern, and at 7.3 x 5.3mm the stone has enough spread to sit as a bright center in a solitaire engagement ring. The visible price is $620.

Bohemi does not sell loose stones on their own. Each mint garnet is set into an engagement ring or built into a custom project designed with you, so this gem ships as part of a finished piece rather than a naked stone. Heather and her team in Boulder, Colorado can pair it with the Olympia setting or the Arcadia small setting, or design something original around it.

Mint garnet sits at about 7.5 on the Mohs hardness scale, which makes it a good choice for everyday wear, though it is a touch softer than a 9-hardness sapphire. It is also naturally untreated, with no heat or color enhancement. If you are very hard on your hands, a harder stone may suit you better.
