Granat

This exceptionally beautiful, natural, and untreated orange garnet, weighing 1.60 ct, was cut from a 5.54 ct rough crystal. Its high transparency and vibrant play of color give it a very clear, warm, and at the same time elegant appearance.

In terms of color, the stone displays an appealing spectrum ranging from orange to bright orange and reddish-orange, all the way to deeper shades of dark orange. Depending on the angle of the light, the stone’s color appearance shifts subtly, so that the garnet appears at times brighter and more vibrant, and at other times richer and deeper.

Its luminous brilliance is particularly beautiful. Bright reflections dance across the facets, causing the vivid orange and reddish-orange areas in particular to sparkle time and again. The stone’s good transparency also lends it a beautiful sense of depth.

There is a visible natural inclusion at the edge. It lies outside the optical center and has only a minor effect on the stone’s clear color and brilliance. At the same time, it highlights its natural origin and individuality.

The precisely executed cushion cut combines softly rounded contours with harmonious proportions and beautifully accentuates the warm color. The faceting allows the various shades of orange and reddish-orange to shine through.

Its special appeal lies in the combination of high transparency, fiery orange, vibrant brilliance, and an elegant cushion cut. The visible inclusion at the edge takes a distinct back seat to the color and play of light, lending the 1.60-ct garnet an additional touch of natural character.

The Garnet originates from southern Africa. The rough stone was sourced for us directly from the source through our partners, inspected by us, and then expertly cut.

⁽*⁾To the best of our knowledge and according to information from our local partners, the gemstone is untreated.

For an additional fee, we’d be happy to arrange for a certificate from an independent gemological institute to be issued for this gemstone.

Images may vary depending on monitor settings. The videos of the stone were recorded without filters or color correction.

The true beauty of a gemstone is only revealed when you hold it in your hand. With every slight movement, the angle of the light, the reflections, and the play of colors change, giving each stone its own unique vibrancy. 

Interesting Facts About Garnet

Garnet refers to a group of closely related minerals that occur as gemstones in an exceptionally wide variety of colors. The spectrum ranges from deep red and purple through orange and yellow to green. Orange and tangerine-colored garnets are particularly attractive; their warm tones can range from golden orange to vibrant tangerine orange to intense orange-red. These shades are particularly associated with spessartine garnets and, when highly transparent, can produce a strikingly luminous, almost glowing effect.

Natural inclusions and growth features are characteristic traits of a natural gemstone. They can provide clues about its natural origin and help distinguish it from synthetic or imitation materials. At the same time, clarity - along with color, cut, and carat weight - is one of the key factors that determine the quality and value of a garnet.

Transparent garnets with intense, uniform color and vibrant brilliance are particularly prized. Among orange stones, clear, rich mandarin and orange hues are especially sought after. Larger specimens with high transparency and intense color saturation are relatively rare and are particularly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts of exceptional colored gemstones. Quality and value depend primarily on color, transparency, clarity, cut, variety, and carat weight; however, future value appreciation cannot be predicted and is always determined by quality, rarity, and demand.
