2.27 Ct. Garnet from Tanzania

A jewel of unmistakable presence, this 2.27 carat radiant shape pinkish purple garnet from Tanzania embodies the rare union of intense color and impeccable craftsmanship. Measured at 9.49 x 6.19 x 3.90 millimeters, its radiant cut magnifies a sumptuous, wine to orchid hue that shifts with every tilt, and its transparency allows light to travel through the depth of color with vivid clarity. Evaluated at eye level as very very slightly included, the stone presents an almost flawless face that will captivate at a glance, while an excellent polish heightens each facet to a mirror finish. Free from enhancement, this natural garnet is an honest expression of the earths artistry, a treasure sourced and presented with confidence by The Natural Gemstone Company. Owning this gem is an assertion of refined taste, a discreet yet unmistakable emblem of achievement that will elevate any bespoke setting into a statement of luxury.

In the realm of durability, garnets occupy a reliable place on the Mohs scale, with members of the garnet family generally ranging from 6.5 to 7.5. This Tanzanian specimen sits comfortably toward the upper part of that range, approximately 7 to 7.5 on the Mohs scale, which means it is substantially harder than many common ornamentals, yet it does not reach the extreme hardness of diamond at 10 or sapphire at 9. That balance of resilience and brilliant color makes it eminently suitable for rings, pendants, and daily wear pieces when set with thoughtful protection, such as a bezel or a sturdy prong mount. With ordinary care, avoiding hard knocks and harsh abrasives, this garnet will retain its glow and integrity for generations, becoming an heirloom to pass along. The Natural Gemstone Company presents this gem not just as an accessory, but as an investment in timeless elegance, a rare piece that promises both visual poetry and dependable wearability for the discerning collector.
