1.92 Ct. Garnet from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

At The Natural Gemstone Company we present a stone that belongs to a select group of gemstones that are as rare in character as they are in provenance, a transparent 1.92 carat cushion shape pinkish purple garnet that reads like a private discovery, a jewel intended for those who seek singularity rather than abundance. The presence of this particular garnet is restrained and deliberate, its intense color intensity and excellent polish revealing an inner vibrancy that performs differently under every light, and because this gem is offered without enhancement and comes from Ceylon Sri Lanka, it stands apart as an unaltered celebration of nature. Owners of this garnet will join an elite few who appreciate not only the beauty but the verifiable integrity of an untreated gemstone, a piece that will be described in quiet conversation as one of those rare finds that defines a collection.

The gem measures 7.79 x 6.90 x 4.34 mm, a comfortable scale for a ring head or a bespoke pendant, and its mixed brilliant cut maximizes scintillation while retaining the cushion silhouette that reads as both vintage and modern. Clarity is graded as very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, which means the stone is visually clean to the unaided eye, with inclusions that are minimal and that often contribute positively to the gemstone character rather than detract from it. When you view this garnet you will notice a pinkish purple hue that is more floral and romantic in tone than the pure red of classic Burmese rubies, and yet it carries a deeper saturation than many Sri Lankan pink sapphires, creating a color niche that is distinctly its own. Compared with rhodolites from Mozambique the tone here is more purple leaning and less overtly red, and compared with the purer violet spinels from Tajikistan the tone is warmer and more inviting.

In comparing this Sri Lankan garnet to other famous gemstone localities one can appreciate the nuance that defines rarity, it is not simply about intensity, but about a unique balance of hue and tone that cannot be easily replicated. The pinkish purple hue recalls the delicate warmth of certain Ceylon sapphires when viewed from a distance, but when examined closely the garnet displays a density and saturation that align it more with collector grade garnets from East Africa, while maintaining a softness and clarity that feels distinctly Ceylonese. In contrast to the bright raspberry pink of Madagascan rubies the tone here is less electric and more composed, offering a mature sophistication for those who prefer understatement over spectacle. This repeated comparison is important because it positions the gem not as an imitation of other famed stones, but as an exceptional example from a storied origin that yields its own signature color voice.

This single 1.92 carat cushion garnet from The Natural Gemstone Company is offered as a limited opportunity, a bespoke item intended for the discerning client who understands that true rarity is measured by provenance, condition, and authenticity. With no enhancements to cloud its story, an excellent polish to magnify its presence, and a color that inhabits a rare pinkish purple territory between the well known hues of Myanmar and Mozambique, it is a stone for collectors and connoisseurs who wish to own something singular. Commission a custom mounting, reserve it for a future heirloom, or allow it to be the centerpiece of a private collection, the choice will designate a level of exclusivity reserved for a very small number of owners. Contact The Natural Gemstone Company to arrange a private viewing and to secure this jewel before it is placed, the experience of possession will be as rare and definitive as the garnet itself.
