Red Garnet Quality & Price

The quality and value of any stone is evaluated on certain parameters.

• Origin

  Red garnets are found all over the world, with deposits on almost each continent. Red Garnets are abundantly mined in Brazil, India and Africa. Red Garnets from Orissa, India are very popular, however they lack in quality. African Garnets are fairly better. Currently, Africa is on.e of the largest supplier of fine-quality red garnets.

• Colour

  Red Garnet is primarily red in colour and the shades range from deep translucent red to very deep, almost blackish-red. Red Garnets can also have hints of orange, pink grey and brown. Pyrope Garnet is the most popular of the red varieties as it has the desired rich red pomegranate colour. Almandine is another species of red garnet that comes in shades ranging from range in colour from dark red to black. For astrological purposes, one should go for deep pure red tones.

• Clarity

  Pyrope Garnet comes inclusion-free while Almandine Garnets are usually opaque. Eye clean Red Garnet is preferred for astrological purposes. Eye clean refers to gemstones that have minimum, small-sized, cornered or light-colored inclusions which makes it difficult to see the inclusion with the naked eye. As a matter of fact, natural gemstones have inclusions. Only synthetic gemstones are 100% inclusion-free.

• Cut

  These stones are most preferred in oval-mixed shapes as the colour and lustre come out beautifully. Other fancy shapes like marquise, trillion or round shapes are also available but they are not as popular.
