2.10 Ct. Garnet from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Beneath the layered tapestry of the Earth's crust, nestled within ancient rock formations, the red garnet set out on its monumental journey millions of years ago. Bathed in the intense heat and unimaginable pressure of the Earth's interior, this particular gemstone began its lifecycle during a time when colossal tectonic shifts were shaping the very continents we stand on today. The dynamic forces of tectonic plates converged, driving the raw elements to coalesce and crystallize into the fiery heart of a red garnet. In the island paradise now known as Ceylon or Sri Lanka, these profound geological dances took place, forming the birthplace of our exquisite gem.

As the Earth transformed and evolved over millennia, natural elements continued to nurture and polish this gemstone. Slowly, the tectonic movements and the power of weathering processes brought it closer to the surface, waiting to be discovered. Generation after generation of local miners and artisans have dedicated their lives to unearthing these hidden treasures, driven by the rhythmic pulse of the land resonating through the lush jungles and tranquil hills of Sri Lanka. Our beautifully crafted garnet, weighing 2.10 carats and precisely shaped to an oval that measures 8.72 x 6.37 x 3.95 mm, was eventually discovered amidst this rich and ancient land. Its vibrant hue and eye-clean clarity reflect the pristine conditions from which it was born.

At The Natural Gemstone Company, we honor this rich heritage by preserving the natural beauty unveiled through centuries of geological wonders. The garnet underwent meticulous cutting and shaping by talented artisans who patiently wielded their skills, each facet sculpted to render the gemstone's dazzling brilliance. The mixed brilliant cut showcases the vivid color intensity that is truly a spectacle of nature, a testament to the relentless artistry of its formation and human ingenuity. Such is the alluring beauty and history of the red garnet, a masterpiece of the Earth, crafted over ages and at last captured in its final form to be cherished.
