When thinking of red gemstones, the first that would spring to most peoples minds is the once magnificent Ruby. In its day it was the undisputed King of coloured gemstones, but sadly, that is no longer true. As deposits of quality Rubies declined, the practice of ‘lead glass filling’ destroyed what was left of the Ruby myth. Inferior and badly included Rubies had the imperfections removed and the resulting cavity was then filled with lead glass. The result of this meddling by man has almost given the Ruby junk status. Think more than twice before buying one – you will be wasting your money.

Enter the wonderful Garnet family of gemstones, untouched by man, and everything the Ruby wishes it was. Although Garnets occur in other colours we shall concentrate here mainly on the reds/oranges. There are enough different varieties to choose from: Rhodolite, Malay, Demontoid, Almandine, Pyrope, Spessartite, Hessonite, Malaya, Pyralspite, Umbalite, Lindi, etc.
 

The prices for good quality Garnets have been climbing steadily on the international gem markets, with no indication of any downward trends. So, it is my opinion that there has never been a better time to own of these stunning natural gemstones, both as an object of great beauty, and as an investment.
