This mint garnet is a 1.54 carat natural oval center stone, priced at $1,385 and measuring 7.9 by 5.5mm. Its fresh green color comes from grossular garnet mined at Merelani in Tanzania, the same deposit that produces bright tsavorite. Unlike many colored gemstones, garnet is typically not heated or treated, so the green you see is entirely its own.

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 becomes the center stone of a finished piece. Heather and her team in Boulder, Colorado hand-set it in platinum or reclaimed 10k, 14k, or 18k gold, and it pairs beautifully with the Olympia setting or the Arcadia Small setting.

At 7.5 on the Mohs hardness scale, mint garnet holds up well to everyday wear with normal care, though it is softer than a sapphire at 9, so anyone very hard on their hands may prefer a harder stone. To see this garnet in person or to start a design, visit the Boulder studio or explore our engagement rings.
