1.47 Ct. White Opal from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This garnet began its journey deep within the ancient metamorphic rocks of Ceylon Sri Lanka, where heat and pressure coaxed aluminum and iron into the rich red crystal you see before you, a one point four seven carat oval shaped garnet measuring seven point seventy by six point zero one by three point eight six millimeters, cut in a mixed brilliant style to balance fire and depth, polished to an excellent finish and evaluated as very slightly included at eye level, with intense color and no enhancement, each facet tells the story of patient geology and careful selection by our team at The Natural Gemstone Company, the stone was hand inspected, then sent to skilled cutters who shaped its oval form to maximize brilliance while preserving weight, the result is a gem that reads as both a vivid jewel and a quiet heirloom ready to be set into a ring or pendant.
