One beautiful transparent 6.74 carat emerald cut shape red almandine garnet from Ceylon Sri Lanka is presented by The Natural Gemstone Company, with exact dimensions of 12.53 x 8.77 x 6.48 mm. This stone has been expertly faceted into an emerald cut to showcase its depth of color and internal clarity, and it carries a clarity grade of very very slightly included evaluated at eye level. The color is described as vivid intensity, a rich, true red that leans toward classic almandine tones without artificial darkening. The piece is unenhanced, with no heating, dyeing, or filling reported, and it benefits from an excellent polish that gives the faceted planes crisp reflections and a clean table view. These precise specifications are provided so a discerning buyer can immediately understand the gem in hand, and The Natural Gemstone Company stands behind the listed measurements and attributes as part of our standard practice.
From a gemological standpoint this garnet is notable for a combination of important qualities that experienced collectors and educated buyers look for, clarity, color, cut, and natural state. The clarity grade of very very slightly included evaluated at eye level indicates that the stone appears essentially clean to the naked eye, with any inclusions being minor and not detracting from visual performance, this enhances the stone value because transparency and visual purity increase brilliance and allow the vivid red hue to read true in a variety of settings. The emerald cut is a step facet style that emphasizes color saturation and clarity over scintillation, it reduces light leakage and produces broad flashes of color which suit a saturated almandine, the excellent polish means facet junctions are sharp and reflective, maximizing the gemometer quality and making the stone suitable for high end jewelry where finish quality is critical.
The origin of this almandine garnet is Ceylon Sri Lanka, a locality known for producing gemstones with attractive color and consistent crystal quality, and provenance from this island adds an element of geological interest and collector appeal. Sri Lankan almandine tends to show a warm red that can have subtle brown or purple undertones depending on light, and this specimen demonstrates vivid pure red saturation that is both classic and rare for an almandine of this size. The fact that no enhancement has been applied is important in valuation and for collectors who prefer natural materials, unenhanced stones command a premium when color and clarity are strong, because enhancements can alter the long term stability and resale perception of a gem. The transparency and well managed cut mean that the internal light behavior is pleasing, and the gem will perform predictably under both daylight and incandescent lighting, an important consideration for those who evaluate pieces under multiple lighting conditions.
