Garnet for Sale | Buy Garnets in all Colors, In Stock

Welcome to the wide and varied world of garnet gemstones. Diverse in color, price, shape and spiritual influence it is sometimes hard to believe that they are all part of the same family.

Garnets have weird and wonderful names such as tsavorite, hessonite and demantoid. Versions that change color when moved from indoor to outdoors, some with more fire than diamonds and others that are mined by ants, garnets really are fascinating gemstones.

Garnet Colors

The first color that comes to mind when discussing garnets is red but this gemstone can also be found in any color you could imagine.

With their mixed up crystal and mineral make up they can be orange, yellow, green, purple and pink along with every possible blend as well. The only color we have never come across is a blue that stays blue!

Garnet Species

There are at least 20 species of garnet but only 5 that are really of any interest to the world of gemstones. To confuse things further, these species are very rarely pure but a mixture of two or more different variations.

These main species are further broken down into gemstone trade or common names to refer to the actual gemstone you may see in jewelry stores.

For example:

Loose Garnet Price

It would be quite difficult to find a loose gemstone with a wider range of prices than garnets. The price depends firstly on the individual type - natural fine demantoids are the most expensive, tsavorites come next and we head down to the less expensive pyropes and hessonites.

Within the varieties, the color will determine the value more than anything else.

Demantoids with an intense emerald green color will be more valuable than any with a yellow tinge for example. A lighter color will also show off the fire found in demantoids so they will get a better price than darker stones. Usually internal flaws lessen a gemstone's value but the famous horsetail inclusions of demantoids can increase their cost.

This is just one example of many. Hessonite garnets should be a bright golden orange, pyropes are best in deep ruby reds, tsavorites with a bright vivid green. We are sure you will find a good stone in our selection of garnets for sale.

Garnet Carat Weight

I am sure you will have already guessed that garnets can be found in all sizes and weights!

The exclusive tsavorites and demantoids tend to be quite small so their price per carat rises significantly as they get bigger - a 1 carat tsavorite can range from $100 - $1000 per carat while a 2 carat stone could rise to $200 - $3000 per carat.

Other garnet types are more easily found in both small and large sizes so are much more reasonably priced. Loose Pyropes can be as little as $4 - $20 per carat for small gemstones and rise slightly to $8 - $50 per carat for larger gemstones.

Where are Garnets found?

Certain garnet types are found only in one or two locations - demantoids in Russia or Namibia, tsavorites in Kenya or Tanzania, rhodolites in India and Sri Lanka - but as a whole Australia, India, China and the US are the top suppliers.

What jewelry is Garnet suitable for?

Genuine garnets as a group are rated between 6.5 and 7.5 on Mohs hardness scale and are a tough little gemstone able to be used in all types of jewelry items. The more expensive garnets are also used in engagement rings.

With the more expensive stones it might be wise to have protective settings for rings as they are more liable to be damaged.

Birthstones and Anniversaries

Garnet is the official birthstone of January and would make a great gift for anyone who has a birthday at the beginning of the new year.

Garnet is the traditional gemstone to celebrate the 2nd wedding anniversary.

I love the clear description of the certification options. It's very rare to see a gem site that offers a deep explanation of each institution that would certify the stone(s).
