Granat

This exceptionally beautiful, natural, and untreated orange garnet, weighing 1.96 ct, was cut from a 9.07 ct rough crystal. It was cut from the same original crystal as a 0.68 ct sister stone with a square cushion cut.

Its greatest strength lies in its exceptionally clear and vibrant color. The stone is highly transparent and displays a fascinating spectrum ranging from orange through vibrant orange and reddish-orange to deeper shades of dark orange. Depending on the angle of the light, the color appearance shifts subtly, lending the garnet a warm, expressive depth.

Added to this is a beautiful, luminous brilliance. Bright reflections run through the stone, particularly enhancing the vivid orange and reddish-orange areas. Thanks to its high transparency, the play of light appears open and clear, causing the color to sparkle anew with every movement.

The stone features only a tiny, visible, bubble-like natural growth feature. It remains very subtle in the overall appearance and does not significantly impair either the transparency or the brilliance of the stone. Rather, it subtly hints at its natural origin.

The precisely executed oval cut accentuates the elegant appearance of the 1.96-ct garnet. Its harmonious proportions allow ample space for the intense play of colors, letting the various shades of orange and reddish-orange interact particularly beautifully.

It is precisely the combination of high transparency, a multi-layered orange color palette, and vibrant brilliance that gives this garnet its special charm. Together with its 0.68-carat sister stone in a square cushion cut, it also demonstrates just how differently color and light effects can manifest within a single rough crystal.

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.
