Mint Garnet - Pear - 1.22ct
This 1.22-carat mint garnet is a natural, untreated pear-cut stone sourced from the Merelani Hills of Tanzania, the same deposit known for tsavorite and tanzanite. Its soft green color reads fresh and springlike, and at 7.2 x 5.4mm it sits beautifully as a center stone in an engagement ring. The visible price is $1,100, offered as the heart of a finished piece rather than as a bare gem.
Bohemi does not sell loose stones on their own. Each gemstone is set into an engagement ring or built into a custom project designed with you, so this mint garnet ships as part of a ring, never as a loose stone. It works well in the Olympia setting or the Arcadia Small setting, and pairs naturally with reclaimed-scrap platinum or 14k gold.
Heather and her team hand-select every stone at their Boulder, Colorado studio, where you can also see this garnet in person. Mint garnet gives you a fresh green alternative to the usual white diamond while staying in the natural, untreated category.
