No reserve price - 1 pcs Red Garnet - 4.13 ct - International Colored Gemstone Association (ICA GemLab) - No Heated - No Treated

Garnet is a group of silicate minerals known for their rich and varied color palette, with the red varieties being among the most iconic and widely recognized. This red garnet gemstone, weighing 4.13 carats, has been authenticated by the International Colored Gemstone Association (ICA GemLab) as natural and untreated, meaning it has not undergone heat or other enhancement treatments often used to improve color and clarity.

Specifically, red garnets are often of the pyrope or almandine species, which are prized for their deep, vivid red to slightly purplish hues that can exhibit a striking brilliance and fire. Traditionally, garnet has been a symbol of love, passion, and protection, and has been utilized in jewelry for thousands of years.

Garnet ranks 6.5 to 7.5 on the Mohs hardness scale, providing reasonable durability for everyday wear, especially when properly cared for. Its affordability compared to other red gemstones, such as ruby, makes it a popular alternative, while its natural untreated status is particularly appealing to collectors who appreciate authenticity.

The deep red color and clarity of this garnet make it suitable for various forms of jewelry, from classic rings to pendants, offering a vibrant splash of color and a connection to a rich gemstone heritage.
