4.22 Ct. Garnet from Madagascar

As a salesperson at The Natural Gemstone Company, I love to tell the quiet, powerful journey this purplish pink garnet has taken from a remote riverbed in Madagascar to the ring or pendant that could one day rest against your skin, the story begins with a morning light catching a washed pebble, a miner with generations of knowledge recognizing the promise in its glow, the rough crystal traveled with care to a small cooperative where it was cleaned, evaluated, and cherished for its natural vivid color intensity, weight and dimensions were recorded with pride, a precise 4.22 carat, an elegant oval shape measuring 9.67 x 8.09 x 6.58 mm, the stone showed a clarity grade of very slightly included when viewed at eye level, a declaration of its natural authenticity, no enhancement was applied, what you see is the gem as the earth and time created it.

The decision to cut this gem in a mixed brilliant cut was born from a desire to capture both life and light, the cutter permitted the stone to speak, preserving the depth of its purplish pink hue while adding lively scintillation that dances with movement, the excellent polish makes each facet sing, under the loupe the inclusions are gentle signatures, reminders of origin and story, not distractions, I imagine this garnet set into a piece that marks a promise, a celebration, a moment you want to remember with warmth and joy, wearing it will be like carrying a sunrise from Madagascar close to your heart, it has the weight to be cherished and the size to be noticed, the mixed brilliant cut gives it a sparkle that invites compliments and memories, at The Natural Gemstone Company we stand behind the gem with full provenance and personal attention, we source ethically, we communicate openly, and we present each stone as an opportunity to create a lasting memory, if you are looking for a gemstone that feels like love at first sight and like a story that grows richer over time, this 4.22 carat purplish pink garnet is ready to begin its next chapter with you.
