Loose Gemstones Garnets

Loose Garnet Gemstones — Natural, Faceted, Direct-Source

This collection brings together natural loose garnet gemstones sourced directly from mining regions including Madagascar and Kenya. Every stone is individually selected, faceted, and listed with full disclosure of weight, clarity, shape, origin, and treatment status. Whether you are a jeweler sourcing calibrated stones for production, a collector building a variety parcel, or a buyer seeking a specific garnet variety, this collection covers a focused range of genuine options.

What Varieties Are Available in Garnets at Folkmarketgems?

The collection is built around three primary garnet varieties, each with distinct color, rarity, and use profile.

Rhodolite Garnet — Purplish Red, Madagascar Origin
Rhodolite is the most represented variety in this collection. Stones are available in oval, pear, heart, octagonal, and emerald cut shapes, ranging from under 1 carat to over 17 carats per parcel. Clarity grades run from VVS to eye clean. All Rhodolite in this collection is natural and untreated. Parcels of 6 to 8 pieces are available for jewelers needing matched sets, and individual stones are listed for single-stone settings.

Tsavorite Garnet — Vivid Green, Kenya & Madagascar Origin
Tsavorite is one of the rarest garnet varieties. This collection includes calibrated round brilliant Tsavorites in 2mm sizes, available in 10-carat and 25-carat parcel deals, as well as a single 3-carat round brilliant stone. Clarity is VVS to VS. No heat treatment. A Bangkok lab certificate is included with select Tsavorite listings. Tsavorite is a direct alternative to emerald for buyers seeking a durable, untreated green stone.

Spessartite (Fanta) Garnet — Orange-Fanta Color, Madagascar Origin
Spessartite garnets with Fanta coloring are rare in faceted form. This collection includes two parcel options — a 10-carat mixed parcel and an 8.8-carat oval and pear parcel — with individual stone weights averaging under 1 to 1.25 carats. Clarity ranges from included to SI. These are natural, untreated stones suited for collectors and designers working with warm-toned color palettes.

Pricing at a Glance of Garnets

Stones in this collection are priced between $120 and $1,000 depending on variety, carat weight, clarity, and parcel size. Single Rhodolite stones start from $120. Tsavorite parcels range from $450 to $1,000. Spessartite parcel deals are priced between $240 and $350. Multi-gemstone bundles that include garnet alongside other species are also available from $400. All prices reflect direct-source, wholesale-aligned rates with no retail markup layers.

Who This Collection Is For

This collection is suited for four buyer types. Jewelry designers and bench jewelers will find calibrated parcels and matched pairs ready for production settings. Gemstone collectors will find rare varieties including Tsavorite and Fanta Spessartite that are not commonly available in retail channels. Wholesale and trade buyers can access bulk parcel deals with transparent per-carat pricing. Birthstone buyers sourcing January birthstone gifts will find natural red and purplish-red garnets in multiple cuts and sizes.

How to Select the Right Stone

Start with your intended use. For jewelry production, prioritize clarity grade (VVS to eye clean) and shape consistency across a parcel. For collector acquisitions, focus on variety rarity — Tsavorite and Fanta Spessartite hold stronger long-term interest than standard red garnet. For single-stone settings, review the listed dimensions alongside carat weight to confirm the stone fits your setting size. Every listing in this collection includes exact measurements, so no estimation is required.

If you are comparing garnet varieties by value, Tsavorite commands the highest per-carat price due to rarity and demand. Rhodolite offers the best balance of clarity, size, and price for production-volume buyers. Spessartite sits between the two in terms of rarity and price.
