Garnets are a group of closely related minerals. These stones are distinguished by their intense and saturated colors. This family also has a high refractive index, resulting in exceptional brilliance. Most crystals can be cut into stones up to 3 carats. Any cut stone larger than this weight is very rare. These characteristics make it an essential gemstone for the most exceptional creations.
