Oval Genuine Garnet Cabochon

Garnet is a set of closely related minerals that share the same crystal structure while varying in chemical composition. Red is the most common and abundant color, but garnet has been found in nearly every color — from oranges and browns to bright greens. Garnet occurs in metamorphic rock on every continent and has a rich history of use in jewelry and ornamentation spanning thousands of years.

These oval cabochons are genuine Mozambique Garnet, which may be pyrope, almandine, or a mixture of both. Rated A Quality, each stone displays a medium to dark red to orange-red color and may contain some eye-visible inclusions. No treatments have been applied. Available in five sizes, these cabochons are suitable for a wide range of jewelry-making applications, including setting in metal clay at the lowest temperature settings.
