6.20 Ct. Red Garnet from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This transparent 6.20 carat oval red garnet measures 11.50 x 9.12 x 7.50 mm, and has been executed with a faceted mixed brilliant cut that balances scintillation and color saturation. The mixed brilliant design, with a well proportioned crown and a pavilion that transitions into a precise girdle plane, has been calibrated to reduce windowing and maximize light return for a deep, consistent face up color. The table facet is well sized relative to the overall dimensions, preserving optimal crown height to enhance internal reflection without sacrificing spread. At eye level this specimen grades as eye clean, exhibiting no visible inclusions that disrupt facet junctions or light performance, and the polish is excellent across all facets, yielding crisp facet edges and mirror like reflection on the crown and pavilion facets.

The color presents as intense, a saturated red that displays strong depth rather than brownish or muddy tones often observed in larger garnets, making this piece unusual both for its size and for the purity of its red saturation. Origin is Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a provenance that is relatively uncommon for garnets of this carat range and intense hue, which enhances its appeal to connoisseurs and collectors who prioritize geographic origin in valuation. No treatments or enhancements have been applied, the gem is natural and stable, and its optical behavior and polish are consistent with high quality lapidary work. The combination of 6.20 carat weight, oval outline, mixed brilliant faceting, eye clean clarity, intense color intensity, and Ceylon origin gives this garnet a scarcity profile that stands out when compared to similar stones available in the market. The Natural Gemstone Company provides this description to support informed evaluation, and this garnet is well suited for fine jewelry settings that preserve proportion and light entry, or for a curated collection where rarity of color and size are primary considerations.
