Almandine garnets are mostly found as pebbles of varying size in ore rich gravels.
A large portion of the garnets used today come from Sri Lanka.
Smaller pebbles are much more common than larger ones, therefore, the price jumps considerably as the size of the specimens increase.
The finest specimens are selected for faceting. The remaining gemstone quality material is formed into beads of varying shape.
The pebbles are sorted for size, ground into a uniform shape, then polished.
We purchase the finest quality bead grade garnets available for our beaded jewelry.
