13.75 Ct. Garnet from Tanzania

This 13.75 carat cushion shape garnet presents a rare combination of substantial size and refined cut quality, making it a distinguished addition to a high end gemstone collection. The stone measures 13.66 x 12.14 x 9.44 mm and is fashioned with a mixed brilliant cut, delivering dynamic light return across the table and facets. Color is a vivid purplish pink with strong saturation and pleasing depth, producing an even face up appearance that reads consistently in natural and artificial light. Clarity has been graded as very slightly included at eye level, with inclusions that are minor and do not impede transparency or brilliance. The gem is transparent throughout, and the excellent polish enhances facet definition and the overall visual impact. No enhancement has been applied, which preserves the natural character and desirability of the material.

This garnet originates from Tanzania, a locality known for producing fine colored gemstones, and its untreated status adds to its collector appeal. At this weight and quality the stone is well suited for a variety of high end settings, from a showcase ring to a bespoke pendant, where the cushion silhouette and mixed brilliant facet arrangement will maximize optical performance. Given its natural stability and durability, careful everyday wear is feasible, with routine precautions such as avoiding hard knocks and exposure to harsh chemicals. The provenance, dimensions, cut, and finish make this example especially attractive for connoisseurs who prioritize natural, well cut stones. The Natural Gemstone Company offers this piece as part of a curated selection intended for serious collectors and designers who value documented origin, transparent disclosure of enhancements, and refined craftsmanship.
