3.32 CT NATURAL SPESSARTITE GARNET – NAMIBIA – GIA REPORT

A natural 3.32-carat spessartite garnet represented as originating from Namibia. The gemstone displays a vivid orangy-red color, transparent clarity and strong brilliance in an elegant cushion shape. Its size and distinctive color make it suitable for a fine jewelry project or gemstone collection.

Why This Stone Is Priced Higher Than Many Other Spessartite Garnets

Not all spessartite garnets are comparable in value. Pricing depends on a combination of color, clarity, size, cut, brilliance, rarity and documentation.

This gemstone commands a premium for several reasons:

• Large size: At 3.32 carats, it is substantially larger than the smaller spessartite garnets commonly offered on the market. Fine stones above three carats are more difficult to find, particularly when they retain strong color and transparency.
• Vivid orangy-red color: The stone displays a lively, saturated orangy-red hue rather than a dull, brownish or overly dark appearance. Attractive color is one of the most important factors in evaluating spessartite garnet.
• Transparency and brilliance: The gemstone is transparent and has a lively appearance, allowing light to move through the stone and produce strong visual brightness.
• Distinctive cut: Its cushion shape combines a classic outline with a brilliant-cut crown and step-cut pavilion, giving the stone both elegance and visual presence.
• Limited availability of larger fine material: While smaller commercial spessartite garnets can be relatively accessible, larger transparent stones with attractive color and good brilliance are considerably less common.
• Collector and locality interest: The stone is represented as originating from Namibia, a locality of interest to gemstone collectors. This origin designation is presented as represented and is not independently confirmed by the GIA report.
• Professional documentation: The gemstone is accompanied by the original GIA report, which identifies it as natural spessartine garnet. Independent laboratory documentation provides important assurance regarding the gemstone’s identity and natural status.

The price reflects the combination of size, color, transparency, cut, rarity and documentation—not simply the gemstone’s carat weight. Lower-priced spessartite garnets may be smaller, less saturated, more included, darker, less brilliant, commercially cut or undocumented. Direct comparisons should therefore be made only with stones of similar quality and size.
