Mint Garnet - Pear - 1.03ct
This natural mint garnet is a 1.03-carat pear-cut center stone, priced at $620, with a fresh spring-green color that stays lively in daylight. It measures 8 by 5.1mm and was sourced from Merelani, Tanzania, the region known for its bright grossular garnets. Bohemi does not sell loose stones on their own, so this garnet is set into one of our engagement ring settings or built into a custom project designed with you.
Heather and her team in Boulder, Colorado hand-set each center stone in platinum or reclaimed 10k, 14k, or 18k gold. This pear garnet works beautifully in the Olympia setting or the Arcadia Small setting, and it can anchor a fully custom design if you have something specific in mind. Natural mint garnet is untreated, so the green you see is entirely its own, with no heat or diffusion behind it.
At 7.5 on the Mohs hardness scale, mint garnet holds up well to everyday wear, though it is a touch softer than sapphire, and anyone very hard on their hands may prefer a harder stone. To see this garnet in person or to start a design, visit our Boulder studio or explore our engagement rings.
