2.30 Carat Natural Red Garnet – Elongated Emerald Cut
Offered is the exact 2.30 carat natural red garnet shown in the photographs.
The gemstone measures approximately 10.0 × 5.8 × 3.6 mm and has been fashioned into an elegant, elongated emerald-style step cut with clipped corners.
The stone displays an attractive rich red to deep red appearance, with brighter crimson-red flashes visible as the gemstone catches the light. Its elongated proportions and classic step-cut faceting give it a refined appearance that would lend itself particularly well to a custom ring, pendant, or other fine jewelry project.
The photographs demonstrate how the gemstone’s appearance changes with lighting and viewing angle. Some areas appear bright red while others become considerably darker as the step facets reflect and return light.

ORIGINAL SELLER REPRESENTATIONS
The original seller represented the gemstone with the following characteristics:
Gemstone: Natural Red Garnet
Origin: Africa
Clarity: VVS
Treatment: No Treatment
These characteristics have not been independently verified by a gemological laboratory. The stated clarity, treatment status, and geographic origin are therefore provided as the original seller’s representations rather than independent guarantees.
COLOR & CUT
This garnet displays a saturated red appearance with darker burgundy-red areas and brighter red flashes depending upon the angle and lighting.
The elongated emerald-style cut uses broad step facets rather than the numerous small facets found in a brilliant cut. This creates larger flashes of reflected light and emphasizes the gemstone’s color and transparency.
Based on the photographs, the stone appears to have good polish and attractive symmetry.
CLARITY
The gemstone appears quite clean in the photographs, although some internal characteristics may be visible under certain lighting conditions or magnification.
The original seller represented the gemstone as VVS clarity. Because no independent laboratory grading report accompanies the stone, VVS is seller-represented and is not being independently guaranteed.
Natural gemstones may contain internal and surface characteristics consistent with their natural formation.
TREATMENT & ORIGIN
The original seller represented this gemstone as a natural, untreated red garnet from Africa.
No independent gemological report accompanies the gemstone. Therefore, geographic origin and treatment status have not been independently verified.
I would not narrow “Africa” down to a specific country or mine unless you have additional documentation from the seller.
PHOTOGRAPHS
You will receive the exact gemstone pictured.
Photographs were taken to demonstrate the gemstone’s color, transparency, proportions, and faceting. Red garnets can look significantly different depending upon lighting conditions and may appear brighter red under strong illumination and considerably darker under lower lighting.
Camera settings, surrounding colors, and individual display settings can also affect perceived gemstone color.
Please review all photographs carefully before purchasing.
