4.82 Ct. Garnet from Tanzania

This transparent 4.82 carat oval red garnet measures 11.54 x 8.78 x 6.29 millimeters, presenting a well balanced face up appearance and an overall depth of approximately 54.5 percent, a proportion that optimizes apparent size while maintaining strong light return. The stone has been fashioned in a mixed brilliant cut, featuring a brilliant style crown paired with a carefully faceted pavilion, the combination engineered to maximize scintillation and internal light dynamics. Facet junctions are precise and symmetry is consistent across the table and girdle planes, and the excellent polish delivers crisp facet relief and lively light dispersion without surface abrasion. Clarity is graded as very very slightly included under typical eye level inspection, meaning inclusions are minute and do not compromise the gem’s transparency or its saturated visual impact. Color is vivid in intensity, a richly saturated red with subtle purplish undertones apparent under certain lighting, producing deep, uniform body color and lively flash through the crown facets. The gem is natural, unheated and untreated, with no enhancements, and is documented as originating from Tanzania, a source known for producing high quality garnet material.

From a practical and design perspective this garnet is highly versatile, bridging casual daily wear and elevated formal settings with ease. At 4.82 carats and with strong color saturation, it reads confidently as a solitaire ring center, a pendant focal stone, or as the primary stone in a three stone or halo configuration, while the mixed brilliant cutting style ensures the gem presents vivid sparkle under both ambient daylight and evening illumination. The robustness of garnet chemistry, combined with the stone’s eye level clarity and excellent polish, makes it suitable for frequent wear with standard care, and the oval outline provides comfortable finger fit for rings as well as secure prong and bezel mounting options for pendants. The Natural Gemstone Company is pleased to offer this Tanzanian red garnet as a precision cut, untreated specimen, ideal for discerning clients who appreciate finely executed proportions, superior polish, and a vivid, naturally occurring color that performs across casual and formal jewelry applications.
