Greetings and welcome to Splendid Specimens,


Behold the allure of an extraordinary deep blood-red Garnet, a true gem from the heart of Australia. Originating from Proston, a charming rural town in the South Burnett Region, Queensland, this Garnet boasts a mystic blackish-red hue, embodying the rich and saturated tones unique to this region. Proston, now closed for mining, has left a legacy of exceptional gemstones, and this particular Garnet stands as a testament to its heritage.


What sets Australian Garnets apart is their remarkable weight and intense saturation, thanks to a generous infusion of iron. This Garnet, fully saturated in a deep blood-red reminiscent of the colors we cherish, is a pure natural wonder with no treatments whatsoever. Adorning your collection at a generous 2.80 carats and measuring 8.60 x 5.70 x 5.50 mm, it reflects the authenticity of Australian gemstone craftsmanship.


Elevating this gemstone to perfection is its 50,000 grit diamond polish—a remarkable feat beyond the industry standard of 14,000. Witness its brilliance in the photograph; the even refraction captures and bounces light effortlessly.


This Garnet, a radiant embodiment of Australia's natural beauty, is an ideal candidate for a stunning pendant or ring. Picture the exquisite beauty as showcased in the accompanying photograph of the ring—a testament to the captivating allure these gems bring to silver or white gold settings.
