0.94 Ct. Almandine Garnet from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

When you are searching for that one gemstone that ends the search for an engagement ring center or a rare collector piece, this red almandine garnet from The Natural Gemstone Company is the precise answer. This transparent 0.94 carat, round shape garnet measures 6.13 x 6.11 x 3.42 mm, and it has a mixed brilliant cut that balances lively top of the stone scintillation with deep pavilion fire. The clarity grade is very slightly included evaluated at eye level, and the vivid color intensity reads as a rich, true red that answers the desire for warmth and depth without looking brown or overly dark. The polish is excellent, there is no enhancement, and the gem is responsibly sourced from Ceylon, Sri Lanka. The photos demonstrate how this gem sits on a hand, offering a clear impression of its face up presence and scale, making it ideal for a classic solitaire setting or a vintage inspired cluster, and giving you the confidence that this stone will stand out as a meaningful, wearable treasure.

What sets this garnet apart is the way its internal structure interacts with light, creating a sparkle that is both immediate and complex. Almandine garnet crystallizes in an isometric lattice, a dense atomic packing that promotes a high index of refraction and strong internal reflection, so light entering the gem is returned with lively brilliance. The mixed brilliant cut amplifies this natural advantage by combining well proportioned crown facets and a thoughtfully faceted pavilion, generating quick scintillation across the table and flashes of deeper red and orange from within. Very slightly included clarity means the eye sees mostly clean, uninterrupted planes of color, while excellent facet polish produces crisp reflections and striking contrast between light and dark areas. The result is a red that seems to glow from below the surface, a gem that reads as vivid and alive in different lighting conditions, and a piece that satisfies collectors and partner seekers alike. Choose this Ceylon almandine garnet from The Natural Gemstone Company when you want a stunning finish to your search, and we will help you set it into the perfect piece.
