17.84 Ct. Garnet from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

One beautiful transparent 17.84 carat cushion shape red garnet from Ceylon Sri Lanka, presented by The Natural Gemstone Company, is an object of singular desire. Measuring 16.09 x 13.28 x 8.66 mm, with a mixed brilliant cut and an excellent polish, this gem commands attention with a dark color intensity that reads as rich and velvety in every light. The mixed brilliant cutting schema marries step and brilliant facets in perfect accord, a geometry that channels light into a choreography of depth and scintillation. The garnet is graded very slightly included at eye level, and the absence of enhancement affirms its natural provenance and authentic character. This is a stone for the connoisseur who prizes unadulterated beauty, a statement piece that signals refined taste and the quiet authority of true luxury.

The sparkle of this garnet is unmatched because of its crystalline structure and expert cutting. The garnet lattice refracts and reflects with a warmth that the cutter has amplified by thoughtful pavilion angles and crown facets, producing intense flashes of color and a persistent inner fire. The mixed brilliant cut creates a field of small, lively flashes across the crown, while the deep, polished pavilion returns light as a profound, enveloping glow, resulting in scintillation that is both lively and noble. With no enhancements, every facet, every plane, and every gleam is the authentic expression of nature and craftsmanship. For the collector who seeks contrast and theatrical display, consider pairing this garnet with our Fire Opal offerings, where the opal type Fire Opal brings a companionate burst of orange and red play of color that complements the garnet darker tones. To own this garnet is to hold a piece of Ceylon earth in a setting of your choosing, a testament to discerning taste and the kind of possession that confers a quiet but unmistakable prestige. The Natural Gemstone Company presents this gem as more than an adornment, it is a milestone, an heirloom in waiting, and a declaration of the highest standards in natural gemstone selection.
