Question: are garnets worth any money?
Answer: Found mainly in small sizes, tsavorites over 2 carats are very rare. Prices range from $500 a carat for good colors with some inclusions, to $2,000 to $7,000 for clean larger stones with top color. Demantoid garnet is the rarest and most valuable of the garnets and is one of the rarest of all colored gemstones.
