1.62 ct Red Garnet - Oval

At 1.62 carats, this garnet from Mozambique carries its red color through an oval cut, measuring 7.9 x 6 mm.

Garnet is a family of distinct species rather than a single gemstone, and each species carries its own color range, sources, and character. Mozambique's northern gem fields supply ruby, tourmaline, and a steady run of fine garnet with the strong color East Africa is known for. It carries no treatment of any kind, so the color you see is the color that came out of the ground. That is typical of garnet, one of the few gem families that reaches the market almost entirely untreated.

A genuine garnet at a size and price you can actually wear, the real thing rather than a machine-grown copy. Hand-selected and filmed by Caveman Gems in good light, shown as honestly as a screen allows.
