Description
Grossular garnet is perhaps the least-known of the gem garnets, and yet it deserves broader recognition, as it can be fashioned into gorgeous gemstones. The only commonly-known grossular garnets are the green varieties–deep green tsavorite and lighter green Merelani Mint garnet. Grossular garnet can actually be found in a broad range of colors, from reds to oranges, yellows and greens. Indeed, some of the rarest of all gem garnets are colorless to nearly colorless grossulars referred to as “leucogarnets.” This particular grossular garnet comes from Kenya, where several small finds of pastel-colored grossular garnets have been made.
This gem is faceted in my custom “Helena” brilliant oval design, and it is quite brilliant in the hand. The gem weighs 0.83 carats and measures 6.0 x 5.0 x 3.8 mm. It has excellent clarity, making it bright and scintillating in the hand. There may be tiny inclusions that are visible only with a 10x loupe.

Video Request
Although we do our best to take the highest quality images, sometimes it can be difficult to envision how it will look on your hand. We can take a video of up to four gems side by on the hand to help you compare them and see how they perform in daylight. Please provide the following information, and include the SKU numbers or links to the stones you would like to see a video of.
Please note that we don’t do 360-degree videos as colored gems are optimized to be viewed face up, and because the current technology is such that none of the 360-degree systems we have tested provides the accurate color. Our desire is to present the most honest and accurate color possible!
