Deb Harding says:Thank you Julie. I typed in garnet in search the other day. All these green stones were at the top of the page. I jad to look at the page to see if I had something else.

Laud says:I’ve always loved garnets for their rich, mysterious color. It surprised me, too, to find them in green. You’ve put them together in a great way–kudos!

Deb Harding says:Thank you Laud.

Luna Chick aka Coral says:Oooh, I couln’t agree more. Wish garnet was not so expensive. Or perhaps it is a good thing that it is (the price keeps me from going on a crazy spending spree).

Deb Harding says:LOL Coral. Its def not.cheap. Surprisingly the green seems more expensive.

Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:Deb, this is such a gorgeous pick — love the deep red & green garnets with those fab Humble beads!
I love garnets — not just because it’s my birthstone
— all shades & sizes! I have a lot of the deep red, some green, & even some of the light green. The light green tumbled nuggets are so much lovelier in person, too!

puppychick labratbecky says:I am a fiend for garnets–all colors–and unfortunately I am still paying for my collection.
This is FAB, Deb! You learn quickly–green? garnets? hmmmm, let’s do this!
Love this!

Batticat says:This is beautiful! I love garnets, too. I often look at green garnets wanting to buy them. They seem to be quite a bit more expensive than the red. Adding to my favorites.
Does anyone know if grade A garnets are supposed to be transparent? It’s hard to tell from the picture and there’s no description. It would be helpful if LB would add info to the gemstone listings, especially as to whether the beads are treated, stabilized or dyed in any way.

Batticat says:I’ve been eyeing that 30mm green garnet puff coin for some time now. Wish I could buy just one. The color and markings are so beautiful!

J Yee smart chick says:Deb, what a gorgeous Pick of green and red garnets, wow, although I am also glad they’re so pricy I don’t buy ‘em very often – congrats on it being a fave of the week!!
