7.69 ct Orange Garnet - Oval

At 7.69 carats, this garnet from Madagascar carries its orange color through an oval cut, measuring 10.5 x 8.2 x 5.9 mm.

Garnet is a family of distinct species rather than a single gemstone, and each species carries its own color range, sources, and character. Madagascar has produced an unusually wide range of gem species since the mid 1990s, and its garnets arrive in colors the older sources rarely matched. It is entirely untreated; no heat, no enhancement, the color exactly as the earth made it. That is typical of garnet, one of the few gem families that reaches the market almost entirely untreated.

This is a center-stone-grade gemstone with a character of its own, chosen rather than settled for. Hand-selected and filmed by Caveman Gems in good light, shown as honestly as a screen allows.
