2.59 ct Purple Garnet-Grape - Cushion

This 2.59-carat grape garnet is cut as a cushion measuring 8.7 x 8.2 x 3.1 mm, with a purple body color, sourced from Mozambique.

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 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.

No two of these line up the same way on color, cut, and origin at once, which is what makes choosing this one feel deliberate. Caveman Gems hand-selects every gemstone and photographs it in good light, to give you the truest look a screen can.
