Rough Garnet for Lapidary

These are a reasonably high grade of rough Garnet, with a lovely red colouration throughout.

The pieces measure around 4-10MM each; they are suitable for small scale lapidary projects including inlay. An experienced lapidarist may be able to facet some.

Garnet is a fairly hard gemstone – these pieces can certainly be cut and polished, though. We have cut one with a Dremel cutoff tool, and polished some using a lapidary grinder – just make sure to work them wet.

The pictures you see here are representative of the products and are usually not the exact item you will receive. Where various grades are available we do try to photograph each grade – but some photographs are still on their way!
