Grossularite Gems: From Green to Yellow
Grossular (or Grossularite) Garnets are a diverse species of garnet which has more color varieties than all other types of garnet. To keep things simple within this complicated species we have separated Grossular Garnet varieties such as tsavorites and hessonites from the greenish yellow Grossular Garnets found on this page.
Grossular Garnet Colors
Grossular Garnet gets its rather unusual name from the botanical term for gooseberries. When you see these luscious yellowy green gemstones you can understand why.
Although the Grossular species of garnet can actually be found in a wide range of colors including the bright green of tsavorites and the cinnamon brown found in hessonites, as far as the gemstone world is concerned, Grossular Garnets are a lemon yellow to greenish yellow color.

Grossular Garnet Price
Most Grossular Garnets have high levels of clarity and an excellent sparkle so the real deciding factor for price is the color. For the sake of simplicity we are only including the yellowish green colors of Grossular Garnet in this instance.
The exact color tone and hue whether it is more yellow or more green is a matter of personal choice but an even color across the stone is always appreciated and a slightly lighter gemstone can show off the fire or sparkle much better than a darker stone.
Larger Grossular Garnets are hard to find so the price per carat can rise significantly for a specimen over 2 carats but the smaller stones will range from $45 - $80 per carat while the gemstones over 2 carats in weight can reach $80 - $300 per carat.
