Color:   Consistent purple red     

Gem Family:   Grape Garnet is a unique pyrope-almandine member of the garnet family.    

Source:  This rare purple-red garnet is mined only in the Mozambique. Mining of the alluvial deposit is done by hand using small tools like picks and shovels.     

Clarity:   All Grape Garnets are free of eye-visible inclusions.     

Size Range:   0.3 carat to 3.0 carats. Large sizes are very rare.

Enhancement:   The rich purple of rare Grape Garnet is the exact color of the rough removed from the mine. It is not enhanced in any way.     

Lore & History:  Garnets in legend light up the night and protect their owners from nightmares. This gem was carried by ancient travelers to protect against accidents far from home. Garnet is the birthstone for January. The name Grape Garnet was derived from its intense purple-red color: it will remind you of the ruddy grape glow of a fine merlot wine. It was actually named at the breakfast table: Columbia Gem House’s President, Eric Braunwart, was pouring his daughter Alixandra’s favorite juice when he noticed a striking color resemblance to the new garnet he was trying to name.     

Toughness & Hardness:   Grape Garnet has a hardness of 7.25 on the Mohs scale and it is quite tough.     

Care & Cleaning:  Garnet is very durable but try to avoid direct impact to the gemstone. Clean with warm water, detergent, and a soft brush. Grape Garnet can be put in ultrasonic or steam cleaners.     

Special Characteristics:  Grape Garnet has an unusually high refractive index of 1.79 or higher. This gives these gems exceptional brilliance. Only a very small portion of garnet mined in India meets the stringent criteria of rare Grape Garnet . These gems must be a consistent purple-red color, extremely well cut, and free of eye visible inclusions so the amazing brilliance of the gem can shine through.

Why are users outbidding themselves?

When a bid is placed, this is the maximum amount a user is willing to bid for the product. Our system will then automatically bid on that users behalf, incrementally increasing the bid to maintain their position as the highest bidder, up to the specified maximum.

When there is an icon indicating 'Auto Bid,' it means our system is actively placing bids for the user based on their maximum bid. This may appear as if users are outbidding themselves, but it's simply a result of the system updating the bid to reflect the users maximum limit.

Audit

The Gemstone Sheriff program allows our members to request an audit on any product, which is completed by an independent Gemologist who assesses the accuracy of the item description and pictures.
