Garnet Price

The price of garnet can vary widely depending on several factors:

Variety of Garnet: Rarer varieties like demantoid garnet and tsavorite garnet tend to be more expensive than common varieties like almandine or pyrope. 
Carat Weight: As with most gemstones, larger garnets generally cost more per carat. 
Cut Quality: A well-cut garnet that maximizes its brilliance and fire will be more valuable than a poorly cut one.
Clarity: Garnets with fewer inclusions (internal imperfections) are typically more desirable and therefore pricier. Color: Certain garnet colors, such as intense reds, vibrant greens, and rare color-change varieties, can command higher prices. 

Considering these factors, a loose garnet in Australia can range from approximately AU$50 per carat for lower qualities to AU$2,000 per carat or more for exceptional gems. The price of garnet jewelry will also depend on the complexity of the design, the metal used, and any additional gemstones included.
Whether you are drawn to its vibrant hues, its rich symbolism, or its connection to your birth month, garnet is a gemstone that holds a timeless allure.
