Almandine Garnet

Item Description

Almandine Garnets are some of the most vivid and beautiful gems in the Garnet family, plus they're more rare than Spessartine or Rhodolite. These stones are beloved for their great color and large size stones. Garnets are generally very difficult to find in stones over 4 or 5 carats because the material simply does not often form large, gemmy sections that produce large stones. This gem is really impressive with an amazingly rich purple red color, very slight inclusions and a standard "Oval" cut. These stones are not by any means common in this size. A great opportunity for a Garnet to collector to add a significant gem to their collection. BETTER than the photos show!
