Granat

This particularly lovely, natural, and untreated orange garnet, weighing 0.68 ct, was cut from the same 9.07 ct rough crystal. Together with its 1.96 ct oval-cut sister stone, it retains the warm, vibrant colors of the original crystal.

Its clear orange hue appears fresh, cheerful, and elegant at the same time. The stone is eye-clean and possesses beautiful transparency, which allows the color to shine through very cleanly and openly.

Its vibrant brilliance is particularly captivating. The precise faceting creates numerous bright reflections that make the orange hue sparkle again and again with movement. Despite its lighter weight, the stone thus has a surprisingly striking and radiant effect.

The square cushion cut combines a clean basic shape with softly rounded contours, giving the garnet a harmonious, balanced appearance. The faceting enhances both the brilliance and the warm color, giving this small stone a particularly charming appeal.

In direct comparison with its larger counterpart, this 0.68-ct garnet appears slightly more delicate and compact, yet impresses with its eye-clean clarity, beautiful orange hue, and vibrant play of light. Together, the two stones beautifully demonstrate how differently the same rough crystal can appear in two different cut styles.

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.
