0.75 Ct. Garnet from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This transparent garnet presents as a precise marquise shape, weighing 0.75 carat, with dimensions of 8.45 by 4.05 by 2.42 mm. The stone is fashioned with a mixed brilliant cut, combining a faceted crown and a finely angled pavilion to create a geometric faceting schema that maximizes light play. The arrangement of triangular and kite shaped facets on the crown, paired with complementary pavilion facets, produces controlled light return and dynamic scintillation along the length of the marquise outline. Careful symmetry and pavilion depth have been maintained to balance fire and brilliance, and the excellent polish on all facet junctions preserves crisp facet intersections and optimal mirror like reflections. The elongated marquise form further concentrates flashes of light along its axis, while the mixed brilliant faceting disperses light into discrete points of brilliance, yielding a lively but refined visual performance.

Optically the garnet exhibits an orangish red hue with medium intense color intensity, appearing both warm and saturated without over darkening the stone. Clarity is graded as eye clean when evaluated at eye level, presenting no visible inclusions to unaided observation, which enhances transparency and allows the faceting geometry to operate without obstruction. There is no enhancement applied to this gem, and origin is Ceylon, Sri Lanka, confirming a natural, untreated specimen. The combination of mixed brilliant faceting, clean clarity, and excellent polish makes this garnet well suited to settings that emphasize light return and silhouette definition. The Natural Gemstone Company provides this stone as an example of disciplined cutting and natural material quality, appropriate for precision jewelry applications that benefit from strong facet contrast and consistent light performance.
