This is a magnificent and very rare garnet that was mined in Taia-Taveta, Kenya. It was mined from the earth and cut and polished; it has not been subjected to any other treatment. As a GIA Graduate Gemologist I understand my obligation to disclose and explain any treatments so here is the official disclosure: This 3.04 carat garnet is 100% untreated!

At over three carats this is a superb gemstone for a pendant, a ring, or to thrill the collector inside you. As more and more gemstone treatments become part of the gemstone trade, truly untreated, all-natural stones like this one become even more desirable. The trillian shape is an added bonus and is a very striking shape that enhances the beauty of the gem.

Of course beauty is the most important value factor for any gemstone. The more intense the color and brilliance, the more a gemstone is worth. A stone like this beautiful Kenyan garnet that is both very vividly colored and that has a ton of brilliance will always command premium prices in the marketplace.
