Garnet is a gemstone family that includes several distinct varieties — including Hessonite, which is recognized in the traditional Navratna system as Gomed. Beyond Hessonite, other Garnet varieties such as deep red Pyrope or Almandine Garnet are used in contemporary practice to support Mars energy, associated with vitality, courage, and grounding, often as a more affordable alternative to Ruby for those seeking similar properties.

Garnet pricing varies significantly by variety and color — deep red Garnets are widely available and affordable, while rarer varieties such as vivid green Tsavorite or color-changing Garnet command much higher prices. Clarity and carat weight matter as with most gemstones, but origin is generally less of a pricing factor for common red Garnet compared to rarer varieties. Most Garnet sold commercially is untreated, since heat or chemical treatment doesn’t typically improve its appearance the way it does for sapphires or rubies.

Trishul Gems offers certified natural Garnet across multiple varieties, helping buyers select the right stone for their needs.
