Mozambique Garnet is perhaps the cleanest, clearest, brightest garnet in the world. Ever since I ran across it several years ago, it's the only garnet I'll carry. I hate the occluded, prune juice colored stuff, and I won't carry it. This is a stone you'll be proud to own.

8/27/14 Note: Since creating this listing, the mines in Mozambique have started to run out of material. The larger stones are all but gone, and I will not be able to get any more. The price you see in this listing reflects the current market, and is only going to go higher, probably doubling again before Christmas. When these stones are gone, they are gone. I'm sorry for the rapid price increase, but I have no control. These Mozambique stones have, for years now, been the best Garnets on the market, but with the mines playing out, the larger ones will vanish, but the smaller ones will still be around for awhile -- but they will be going up in price.

This stone is set into a sturdy 4 prong basket. We cast our own mountings and will never use flimsy "snap tight" stuff... It allows the most show of stone for the least expense in silver. It's a good stable setting that doesn't set you back a month just to get one.
