1.57 Ct. Garnet from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

One beautiful transparent 1.57 carat cushion shape purplish pink garnet from Ceylon Sri Lanka presents a rare and refined balance of hue and tone, the dimensions 6.67 x 6.32 x 4.10 mm and the mixed brilliant cut combine to maximize sparkle and face up size, the clarity grade is eye clean at loupe free viewing levels, the color registers as vivid with an appealing purplish pink leaning that feels both lively and composed, the polish is excellent and the stone is completely natural with no enhancement, The Natural Gemstone Company offers this gem to collectors and designers who seek a natural origin and uncompromised beauty. Compared to garnets from Mozambique and Tanzania which often sit deeper in the purplish red range with richer, more saturated tones, this Ceylon example reads lighter and more luminous, it carries more pink lift and a silkier mid tone that allows brilliant facets to play against its color, compared to rhodolite garnets from Madagascar that can trend cooler and more overtly purple, this Sri Lankan piece feels warmer and more romantic, compared to Burmese rubies the hue is distinctly pink rather than vivid red, which gives it a softer presence while retaining vivid intensity, compared to Sri Lankan pink sapphires this garnet shows greater saturation per weight, offering a punchier face up color without the pastel wash that can soften some sapphires.

In practical terms the combination of mixed brilliant cutting and a cushion outline gives a sparkle profile more akin to well cut rubies and sapphires, yet the gem maintains the approachable price to weight ratio that garnets generally provide, because it is eye clean it avoids the need for clarity trade offs common in many heated or fracture filled stones, and because it is untreated the color is authentic and stable, making it a superior choice for important jewelry that demands natural origin. For clients weighing options against gems from other famous locations this piece stands out for its unique purplish pink hue that sits between the deeper Mozambican reds and the paler Sri Lankan pink sapphires, for its lively tone that is vivid without being garish, and for its combination of clarity cut and polish that delivers immediate visual impact, The Natural Gemstone Company invites you to consider this 1.57 carat Ceylon garnet for a ring pendant or heirloom piece where rarity, color and uncompromised natural quality matter.
