This transparent 1.14 carat radiant shape orange hessonite garnet measures 6.14 by 5.88 by 3.91 mm, and presents an intense color intensity with excellent polish. The stone is graded as very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, indicating minor inclusions that do not detract from overall transparency or brilliance. Origin is Madagascar, and there has been no enhancement applied, ensuring that the hue, saturation, and clarity are natural attributes of the crystal. The radiant cut was selected to maximize the gem's lively orange tone while maintaining a balanced outline suitable for a variety of settings, and the proportions and facet precision contribute to consistent light return across the table and crown. At 1.14 carats the proportion and visual presence make this hessonite appropriate for solitaire rings, delicate pendants, and custom pieces where the natural color and clarity are central to the design, and the measurements provide a predictable fit for standard settings and bespoke mountings alike.
From extraction to market the journey of this hessonite garnet follows documented and conservative practices that prioritize traceability and quality control. The rough crystal was sourced from artisanal deposits in Madagascar, where initial sorting takes place to identify material with desirable color and internal character. Selected roughs are transported to experienced cutters who orient the crystal to conserve weight while emphasizing color and inclusion placement, resulting in the radiant shape that reveals the stone's warm orange flash. After cutting the gem undergoes staged polishing and inspection, including a loupe and eye level clarity evaluation, a polish review to confirm excellent finish, and a photographic record for consistent representation. The Natural Gemstone Company maintains the chain of custody records, confirms origin, and provides untreated certification so that designers and collectors receive a well documented natural gem. The result is a precise, ready to set hessonite garnet that combines natural origin, measured dimensions, verified clarity grade, and a cut optimized to exhibit its inherent color and transparency.
