This garnet simulant is made from lab-created corundum, displaying a deep, vivid red color characteristic of natural garnet. With a hardness of 9 on the Mohs Scale, these stones offer excellent durability suitable for everyday wear. Presented in a classic pear faceted cut, they are well-suited for a wide range of jewelry applications. Garnet is the traditional birthstone of January.
These stones are safe to fire in metal clay and suitable for stone-in-place casting, making them a versatile choice for studio jewelers and metalsmiths. Clean with warm, soapy water; ultrasonic and steam cleaning are generally safe.
