1.20 ct Yellow Garnet-Color Change - Oval

At 1.2 carats, this color-change garnet from Tanzania carries its yellow color through an oval cut, measuring 7.3 x 5.7 x 4.1 mm.

Garnet is a family of distinct species rather than a single gemstone, and each species carries its own color range, sources, and character. Tanzania's gem gravels yield one of the widest spreads of garnet species anywhere, with the saturation East African material is known for. 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 photographed by Caveman Gems in good light, shown as honestly as a screen allows.
