3.02 ct Orange Garnet-Color Change - Round

At 3.02 carats, this color-change garnet from Mozambique carries its orange color through a round cut, measuring 7 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 is wholly untreated, its color finished by geology rather than by any furnace or enhancement. That is typical of garnet, one of the few gem families that reaches the market almost entirely untreated.

Its exact combination of color, cut, and origin is its own, the kind of center stone you choose on purpose and build a piece around. Hand-selected and filmed by Caveman Gems in good light, shown as honestly as a screen allows.
