1.01 Ct. Garnet from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

In the vibrant heart of Ceylon, nestled among lush landscapes and tranquil lakes, lies a hidden world where the rarest of treasures are unearthed. From this rich tapestry of color and history comes our exquisite 1.01 carat oval-shaped purplish-red garnet. Sourced with care by The Natural Gemstone Company, this extraordinary gem stands as a testament to nature's artistry and human craftsmanship.

The journey of our garnet begins deep in the mines of Sri Lanka, known historically as Ceylon, a region famed for its gem-rich limestone deposits. Here, under the expertise and careful guidance of skilled miners, this captivating stone was carefully extracted. Unlike many other gems whose origins are clouded in mystery, our garnet boasts a transparent lineage. Each stone is meticulously tracked from the moment it is found, ensuring that every facet of its story is as genuine and transparent as the gleaming surface of the gem itself.

Once brought to the surface, our garnet undergoes a transformation. Expert gem cutters, known for their unparalleled skill, take the raw stone and reveal its lustrous beauty through a mixed brilliant cut. The shape and dimensions of 6.78 x 5.22 x 3.70 mm are specifically chosen to enhance the stone's inherent qualities, highlighting its intense color intensity and perfect clarity. Others on the market often cut corners to maximize yield at the expense of brilliance, but The Natural Gemstone Company prioritizes quality over quantity. Our garnet is slightly included at eye level, a testament to its authenticity and a distinctive characteristic that adds to its charm.

This gem’s allure is accentuated by its intense purplish-red hue, a color that captures the eye and the imagination with its depth and vividness. Throughout the process, the polish of this garnet is perfected to a level of excellence that allows its color and clarity to shine through unobstructed, reflecting our dedication to superior craftsmanship. Competitors may offer garnets that appear similar at first glance, but few can rival the sheer richness of this gemstone’s color coupled with its exquisite polish.

With its compelling backstory and exceptional quality, our purplish-red garnet is more than just a gemstone. It is a piece of Ceylon's storied landscape, a product of nature's remarkable forces and human ingenuity.
