1.20 Ct. Garnet from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This pear shaped purplish pink garnet from Ceylon is a study in timeless elegance, a stone that carries the quiet dignity of centuries of gem lore. At 1.20 carat with dimensions of 7.87 x 5.53 x 3.98 mm, its mixed brilliant cut and excellent polish allow a precise play of light that recalls antique jewels set for royalty and collectors who prize lineage and refinement. The gem displays a medium color intensity that reads as a romantic purplish pink in natural light, and its clarity grade is very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, delivering near eye clean performance for a truly wearable treasure. Heat treated to enhance its hue and stability, and sourced from the storied alluvial deposits of Sri Lanka, this garnet embodies both the island legacy of fine colored stones and the enduring aesthetics of classic pear shapes that have been favored through generations. The Natural Gemstone Company offers this gem with careful disclosure of its qualities and provenance, presenting a piece that honors tradition while feeling fresh and wearable in modern settings.

Collectors and investors will recognize the long term potential in a gem of this character, as purplish pink garnets occupy a special position in the colored stone market where scarcity and desirability align. A 1.20 carat example, cut to maximize brilliance and finished to an excellent polish, is inherently attractive to both jewelers and collectors, because its size, shape and eye level clarity make it suitable for a range of fine settings. Market interest in unique pink and purple tones has strengthened as buyers seek alternatives to traditional ruby and sapphire, and Sri Lankan origin continues to add cachet and trust. Heat treatment is an accepted enhancement that improves marketability without obscuring natural origin, and because garnets are durable and stable in everyday wear, they hold practical as well as aesthetic value. For those considering acquisition with an eye to appreciation, this garnet represents a balanced opportunity, combining provenance, rarity of color, and gemological integrity. The Natural Gemstone Company stands ready to provide further information on care, documentation, and setting options, helping you secure a piece that may become more treasured and appreciably valued with time.
