1.06 Ct. Orange Spessartite Garnet from Madagascar

This transparent 1.06 carat cushion shape spessartite garnet presents precise proportions and refined finish, with dimensions of 5.91 x 4.86 x 4.23 mm and a mixed brilliant cut that balances table sparkle with pavilion depth. The stone exhibits vivid orange color intensity and an excellent polish that maximizes light return and face up appeal. Clarity is graded as very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, indicating only minor internal characteristics that do not compromise overall transparency or brightness. There has been no enhancement, preserving the natural state of the crystal, and the gem originates from Madagascar, a locality noted for producing spessartites with saturated, pure hues. The combination of cushion shape and mixed brilliant cut provides a versatile profile suitable for precision settings, enabling this garnet to read as lively and evenly colored in a range of lighting conditions.

Compared to typical spessartite examples, this piece is notable for its convergence of both size and color rarity, as fine orange spessartites above one carat with vivid saturation are uncommon in the market. Many comparable stones trade either as smaller sizes or with more brownish or lighter tones, which affects their visual intensity and scarcity. This garnet stands out because it achieves a market scarce balance, a clean eye level appearance and a robust face up color at a weight that supports confident jewelry design. For collectors and designers seeking a natural, unenhanced specimen that emphasizes pure Madagascar orange, this stone represents a distinct offering from The Natural Gemstone Company. Its measurements and cut allow for predictable setting outcomes, and its natural origin and absence of treatments support long term value and collector interest.
