1.18 Ct. Hessonite Garnet from Madagascar

This rare, transparent 1.18 carat pear shape orange hessonite garnet from Madagascar is an invitation to join an exclusive circle of collectors who prize natural character and singular beauty, offered only by The Natural Gemstone Company. Measuring 8.56 x 5.64 x 3.78 mm, this gem is expertly fashioned with a mixed brilliant cut and an excellent polish that maximizes its intense color intensity and fiery internal glow. Slightly included, evaluated at eye level, the stone retains exceptional transparency and depth, the delicate inclusions serving as unique fingerprints that confirm its natural origin and authenticity. No enhancement has been applied, ensuring that the warm cinnamon to amber orange tones are fully native, and the combination of size, cut, and provenance makes this specimen extraordinarily rare and desirable for those seeking a piece that stands apart.

Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this hessonite garnet is exceptionally well suited to daily wear, combining the robust durability typical of garnet species with the resilience afforded by thoughtful cutting and finishing. The mixed brilliant cut and excellent polish preserve strong facet junctions and even light return, which helps resist visible wear over time, while the slightly included clarity does not compromise structural integrity. When set with care, particularly in protective settings such as a bezel or a secure prong with a reinforced pear tip, this gem will endure the rhythms of daily life while maintaining its brilliance. Routine care is simple, gentle cleaning with warm soapy water and a soft brush will keep the surface gleaming, and prudent removal during heavy manual tasks or exposure to harsh chemicals will prolong its untouched charm. For a client who values exclusivity and practicality, this Madagascar hessonite offers the perfect balance of rare natural beauty and everyday resilience, an heirloom ready to be personalized and worn without worry. Allow The Natural Gemstone Company to help design a bespoke setting that safeguards this exceptional stone, and claim a piece that few will ever own.
