1.15 Ct. Red Almandine Garnet from Mozambique

As a representative of The Natural Gemstone Company, I am pleased to present a truly special 1.15 carat cushion shape red almandine garnet, measuring 6.49 x 5.68 x 3.75 mm, faceted with a mixed brilliant cut and an excellent polish. Compared with many garnets on the market that display muted tones, treatments, or less precise cutting, this Mozambique origin almandine stands out for its intense, transparent red color and unaltered natural state with no enhancement. Where other stones of similar weight might appear dull under certain lights or show heavy surface imperfections, this gem benefits from exceptional cutting and polishing that maximize light return and deliver a lively, deep red that reads rich in both daylight and candlelight. The clarity grade is slightly included at eye level, yet the faceting pattern and superior polish render those inclusions unobtrusive, giving the gem a clean and refined presentation that often surpasses comparable pieces in this price segment.

The way this garnet captures and reflects light gives it a near flawless face up appearance from every angle, which creates the impression of superior clarity and symmetry even when examined closely. The mixed brilliant cut excels at balancing sparkle with color saturation, so the stone maintains its intense red heart while scattering bright flashes across the table and crown facets. Compared to mass market stones that may be heat treated or fracture filled to simulate depth, this natural Mozambique garnet offers authenticity and lasting value, a quality that collectors and designers appreciate. Its comfortable dimensions and strong visual impact make it ideal for rings, pendants, and bespoke settings, offering a luxurious look without the premium attached to rarer red gems. When you choose this garnet through The Natural Gemstone Company you are choosing careful sourcing, exacting cut quality, and a gemstone that marries beauty and value in a way that most competitors cannot match, allowing you to create jewelry that shines from every angle and stands the test of time.
