This 2.28-carat mint garnet is a natural pear-cut center stone in a fresh spring green, sourced from the Merelani mining district of Tanzania. It measures 10.10 by 7.2mm, a generous footprint for a solitaire, and reads as a lively, cool-toned green that stays bright in daylight and in warm indoor light alike. The visible price is $2,000.

Mint garnet is a grossular garnet from the same Merelani deposits that produce tsavorite, and it reaches this color without heat or chemical treatment. This stone is natural and untreated, which many buyers look for in a one-of-a-kind engagement stone. At 7.5 on the Mohs scale it wears well for everyday jewelry, though it is a touch softer than a sapphire, so someone very hard on their hands may prefer a harder stone.

Bohemi does not sell loose stones on their own. Each stone is set into an engagement ring or a custom project designed with you by Heather and her team in Boulder, Colorado. If this green speaks to you, reach out and build one of our engagement rings around it.
