This transparent 3.69 carat, 9.72 x 6.47 x 5.44 mm spessartite garnet from Madagascar presents a compelling combination of intense reddish orange color, excellent polish, and natural, untreated origin, attributes that are highly prized by collectors and connoisseurs. The stone is cut in an emerald shape, and it carries a clarity grade of very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which denotes minimal internal features that do not detract from visual performance or durability when viewed without magnification. No enhancement has been applied, which preserves the gemological integrity and long term stability of the piece, and the excellent polish ensures crisp facet junctions and mirror like surfaces that maximize light return. For an educated buyer, the Madagascar provenance adds provenance value because the island is recognized for producing spessartites with vivid, saturated hues and clean material suitable for fine cutting.
The emerald cut in this spessartite is particularly effective at accentuating the gem’s inherent optical properties. As a step cut, the emerald shape emphasizes broad, planar facets and a large table that allow the viewer to see directly into the stone, showcasing the uniform intense color while the long facets create elegant linear flashes of light along the length and depth of the gem. The cut geometry controls the path of light through the pavilion and crown, encouraging subtle internal reflections that enhance perceived depth rather than scattering light in tiny points. For spessartite garnet, which exhibits strong refractive behavior and pleasant dispersion, the emerald cut balances color saturation and clarity, reducing the appearance of scattered brilliance in favor of vivid color clarity and clean, layered reflections. The effect is a sophisticated glow and a deep, fiery presence that reads as both lively and refined in a well lit setting.
This stone is well suited to buyers who prioritize natural, high quality material, and who appreciate how cutting strategy and finish contribute to overall value. The combination of 3.69 carats, precise dimensions, very very slightly included clarity, intense color intensity, excellent polish, no enhancement, and Madagascar origin makes this spessartite an attractive acquisition for fine jewelry or a curated collection, offered by The Natural Gemstone Company with full disclosure of its gemological attributes.
