This is a 2.4" polished Garnetite stone from Madagascar.
About Garnetite
Madagascan garnetite is a beautifully vibrant ornamental stone composed almost entirely of almandine–pyrope garnet, prized for its deep, velvety reds, plum tones, and the subtle internal shimmer created by countless microscopic crystal faces. Once shaped and polished, it reveals a dense, fine-grained structure accented by natural streaks, mottling, and darker mineral inclusions that add depth and character to every piece. Its impressive hardness allows it to take on a remarkably smooth, glossy finish, highlighting both its color saturation and natural patterns.
