2.78 Ct. Garnet from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Introducing a superb specimen from The Natural Gemstone Company, a stunning transparent 2.78 carat red garnet that proudly exhibits the revered emerald cut.

The garnet, hailing from Ceylon, known today as Sri Lanka, offers a unique combination of history, craftsmanship, and natural beauty, all embodied in a singular masterpiece.

Describing the intense color intensity, noticeable even at a glance, reveals its remarkable value comparable to historic gemstones like the legendary Koh-i-Noor diamond, renowned for its brilliance and historical significance. While the Koh-i-Noor garners fame through its storied past, our garnet gains unique recognition by virtue of the rich Ceylonese soil that nurtured it, and the artisans whose skillful hands have rendered it eye clean at standard viewing levels.

The clarity of this garnet is eye clean, a characteristic appreciated by gemologists and collectors who understand the rarity of such a feature in colored stones. Similar to the renowned Black Prince's Ruby, which sits in the British Imperial State Crown, the garnet from The Natural Gemstone Company distinguishes itself through its faultless transparency and sterling color, yet stands unique with its fiery hue and modern cut that brings a contemporary edge to any jewelry collection. The meticulous emerald cut illustrates exceptional craftsmanship, combining historical and modern techniques to showcase the internal brilliance with each precisely measured step.

Originating from Sri Lanka, this garnet becomes even more exclusive with its geographical credentials, joining ranks with globally admired gems such as the Ceylon sapphires famously worn by royalty. The Natural Gemstone Company prides itself on offering not just a gemstone, but a legacy—a true example of nature's masterpiece enhanced through human artistry. When you acquire this garnet, you welcome a piece of heritage and fine art, crafted by experts, making it a valuable and cherished addition to any enthusiast’s collection.
