0.63 ct Purple Garnet-Grape - Round

At 0.63 carats, this grape garnet from Mozambique carries its purple color through a round cut, measuring 5 mm.

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