6.89 Ct. Garnet from Tanzania

Garnet has been treasured across civilizations for millennia, gracing the signet rings of Roman senators, the cloaks of medieval nobles, and the devotional jewels of distant dynasties. This 6.89 carat transparent red garnet captures that same sense of timeless heritage, its deep, vivid hue recalling candlelit halls and age-old trade routes that carried rare stones from Africa to Europe and Asia. Cut in a classic oval form with a mixed brilliant faceting, it pays homage to traditional gem cutting while offering lively brilliance and depth that appeal to collectors who value legacy and enduring beauty. The stone’s eye-clean clarity and excellent polish allow light to dance across its facets without interruption, a quality admired by connoisseurs through the ages, and its unenhanced, natural state is a testament to the pure, unaltered treasures the earth still yields.

Beyond its storied character, the single most striking attribute of this gem is its weight, 6.89 carats, a size that in garnet territory is both rare and highly desirable, commanding attention and significantly enhancing value. Larger garnets of this caliber are uncommon, and a specimen with vivid color intensity, eye-clean clarity at loupe and eye level, and no treatments is particularly exceptional. Measuring 13.50 by 10.17 by 6.81 millimeters, the oval proportions are ideal for a commanding solitaire ring, a dramatic pendant, or a bespoke heirloom piece designed to be passed down. Originating from Tanzania, this garnet carries geographic provenance that speaks to quality and geological integrity. At The Natural Gemstone Company we recognize that carat weight is not merely a number, but a measure of presence and rarity, and this 6.89 carat garnet offers both substantial visual impact and lasting investment value. Whether set in a classic bezel to honor tradition or in a modern prong setting to showcase its mixed brilliant facets, this garnet will serve as a tangible link to history, a center of attention in any setting, and a rare find for those who appreciate the enduring elegance of truly natural gemstones.
