Product description

This transparent, oval shape red garnet is a refined example of natural beauty and gemmological integrity, offered by The Natural Gemstone Company. We present a single gem weighing 2.18 carats, with precise measurements of 8.10 by 6.35 by 4.93 mm, faceted in a mixed brilliant cut to enhance both scintillation and color saturation. The gem exhibits a dark color intensity that gives it a deep, velvety red appearance, and its surface shows an excellent polish that allows clean light return across the table and crown facets. This garnet is graded at very very slightly included for clarity, evaluated at eye level, and it is important to note that there is no enhancement, so the color and clarity you see are the stone in its natural state. For buyers who value provenance and authenticity, this garnet carries the storied origin of Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a region known for producing gemstones with rich color and pleasing crystal structure.

When discussing quality, it is useful to explain the technical aspects that informed our grading. The carat weight of 2.18 is substantial for faceted garnet, and in an oval 8.10 by 6.35 by 4.93 mm profile this weight gives a satisfying presence for a ring center or a pendant focal. The mixed brilliant cut is chosen deliberately to balance fire and depth, using a brilliant style crown with a step or modified pavilion to hold and display the stone color, a cut that often works well in darker gemstones where color preservation is paramount. Clarity graded as very very slightly included evaluated at eye level indicates that any internal features are minimal and do not detract from visual appeal to the unaided eye, while under magnification they confirm natural growth features rather than fractures or treatments. Excellent polish is the finishing touch, ensuring that light flows smoothly across each facet junction, enhancing brilliance and making the dark tone lively rather than dull.

The journey of this garnet from mine to market is rooted in longstanding Sri Lankan gem traditions, and The Natural Gemstone Company is committed to sharing that story with our clients. The rough material was sourced from artisanal alluvial workings in Ceylon, where miners use selective methods to recover gem quality crystals while minimizing over excavation, a practice that supports local communities and reduces environmental impact. Once recovered, the garnet rough was sorted by experienced local graders who assess the potential for color conservation and yield. Rather than pursuing aggressive treatments, cutters in Sri Lanka made calculated decisions to preserve the natural dark red hue, choosing a mixed brilliant design that would retain maximum weight while optimizing face up color. Skilled lapidaries shaped and faceted the stone to the specified dimensions, and the gem underwent careful cleaning, visual inspection, and a final polish that brought out the inherent depth and transparency. After passing our internal quality control at The Natural Gemstone Company, including verification of the no enhancement statement and origin documentation, the gem was prepared for secure shipment to our inventory.

For the educated buyer, this garnet offers a combination of verifiable origin, natural state, and thoughtful cutting that together create both aesthetic and intrinsic value. As a deep red garnet from Ceylon, weighing 2.18 carats and presenting as a transparent oval at 8.10 by 6.35 by 4.93 mm with a mixed brilliant cut, very very slightly included clarity at eye level, dark color intensity, excellent polish, and no enhancement, it is an excellent candidate for a bespoke engagement ring, a striking pendant, or a collector grade specimen. Garnet is hard wearing enough for everyday jewelry with proper setting choices, especially when set in warm metal tones that complement its red body color, and we recommend routine gentle cleaning with warm soapy water and a soft brush. At The Natural Gemstone Company we document the stone specifications and are available to discuss mounting options, certification, and provenance details so that your purchase is both an informed investment and a meaningful addition to your collection.
