Garnet is not one gemstone but an entire family — and far richer than the dark red most people picture. Spessartine glows mandarin orange, demantoid flashes green fire with dispersion exceeding diamond’s, tsavorite rivals emerald, rhodolite blends raspberry and purple, and umbalite adds delicate lavender tones. Our collection includes dedicated selections of demantoid, tsavorite and umbalite alongside classic reds.Garnets measure 6.5–7.5 on the Mohs scale and are singly refractive, giving them exceptional purity of color. Better still, virtually all garnets are untreated — what nature made is what you wear. Africa dominates modern production: Tanzania, Kenya, Namibia and Madagascar.Each garnet at GEMIC Institute is natural, tested by our accredited gemologists and certified by our laboratory in Siem Reap. Listings show photos and video of the exact stone — every piece unique, every sale final in the best sense: no restocks, ever. Worldwide tracked shipping and a 30-day return period are standard. For a specific garnet species or size, our gem hunters are ready.
