3.70 Ct. Garnet from Tanzania

A singular opportunity awaits the collector who seeks a gem of unquestionable presence and provenance, presented by The Natural Gemstone Company. This is one beautiful transparent 3.70 carat emerald cut purplish red garnet, a stone whose dimensions of 9.83 x 6.73 x 5.36 mm give it a commanding profile that is seldom seen in this hue. Emerald cut garnets of this size and quality appear rarely in the market, and when they do surface they are often heavily treated or lack the depth of color that connoisseurs desire. This gem arrives to you in its natural state, with no enhancement, and with a story rooted in the mineral riches of Tanzania, an origin that lends both mystique and credibility to its character. Owning this garnet means possessing a piece that is not merely an accessory, but a statement piece reserved for an elite circle of collectors and bespoke jewelry clients.

Look closely and the rarity becomes more apparent, beyond carat weight alone. The purplish red hue of this garnet is intense, a color intensity that sits at the rare end of the spectrum for garnets from comparable sources. In daylight the stone delivers a regal, wine like depth, while under warmer light it reveals a subtle embrace of purple undertone that elevates the red into an almost velvety saturation. Clarity is exemplary for a natural gem of this scale, graded as very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, a designation that speaks to the exceptional transparency and internal cleanliness retained during the crystal formation process. These very minor inclusions are invisible to most observers, and they serve only to confirm the stone as a natural treasure rather than a synthetic twin. The excellent polish enhances every facet plane, creating crisp reflections and a luminous table that conveys the gem cutters precision and the rough materials inherent quality.

The emerald cut was chosen with intention, to maximize the garnets color performance and to articulate its architectural elegance. Long tapered step facets frame an elongated table that invites the eye to move across the stone, appreciating the even color distribution and the internal glow that few garnets of this size and hue can match. The clean lines of the cut make this gem an ideal centerpiece for a high end ring or pendant, particularly in bespoke settings that emphasize minimalism and metal contrast, allowing the gem to remain the undisputed focal point. Because we offer this piece as a single available specimen, The Natural Gemstone Company treats each client request as a private commission opportunity. We will collaborate with you and your preferred jeweler to propose mounting options that preserve the stones light return and protect its pavilion while presenting it to greatest advantage in everyday wear or in heirloom presentation.

For collectors who favor curated combinations, and for clients who wish to elevate a design with contrasting texture and color, we also present options that pair this garnet with Semi Black Opal accent stones. The Semi Black Opal offers a striking complement, its darker body tone and fleeting play of color providing a dramatic counterpoint to the garnets intense purplish red. When set together in a custom piece the two gemstones communicate a sense of artful balance, the garnet supplying depth and power, the opal introducing mystery and motion. At The Natural Gemstone Company we specialize in sourcing and assembling these rare pairings, offering private viewings, detailed imaging, and bespoke design consultation. Availability of this garnet is limited to this single, authenticated specimen, and that exclusivity is precisely what transforms acquisition into an invitation to join a discrete group of collectors who understand the language of rarity and the value of true natural gemstones. If you are seeking a piece that commands attention, that promises to become a family heirloom, or that marks a rare moment of investment in natural beauty, this garnet awaits your inquiry.
