Matched Pair of Tsavorite

I don't cut many matched pairs, as they are
difficult to get two stones the same color without
buying very large parcels. When I saw this tsavorite garnet
over the summer in Tanzania, it was a crazy
shape, that would need to be cut into two
stones, but the finest color tsavorite I had
seen. The stones don't look it in the picture,
but they are exactly matched color wise and
size, and are a beautiful chrome green with
blue, more intense than the picture and a bit
richer deeper color. These would make an
absolutely stunning pair of earrings.
This was my first gemstone picture with the new camera, while it does photograph green better, the image can't capture the intense color of these.

I
went on a short green binge, cutting my favorite
stone; Tsavorite
Garnet.
Both these stones are from Tanzania, and are from rought I bought while in Arusha this summer. The first one is a smaller stone thats very affordable, cut in a square step design.
This next one is from the Swala Gem Traders mine in Tanania. Excellenct color and crystal and size. It's rare to obtain fine tsavorite over 1 ct, well this one is 2.33 cts.
