➡️ Technical specifications

Red Body Mass is defined by volume and color. At 22.39 carats, the stone boasts a size that elevates it beyond the realm of classic gemstones. It no longer appears as a mere accent, but as a surface – like a concentrated body of color.

The hue ranges from warm cinnamon, honey, and deep orange-red. These areas are not isolated but flow seamlessly into one another. Light does not fully penetrate the stone but is refracted and distributed within the typical Hessonite structure. This creates not a clear sparkle, but a soft, dense luster.

The internal structure appears not pure or empty, but vibrant and slightly cloudy. This appearance – often described as "treacle" – is characteristic of Hessonite and defines its visual identity. It gives the stone an organic quality that clearly distinguishes it from clearly faceted gemstones.

The cut does not aim for maximum brilliance but supports the mass. Large facet surfaces hold the color together and prevent light from being lost. This makes the stone appear calm and contained, almost block-like.

This Hessonite is not a decorative accent. It is a volume stone that impresses with its materiality and color concentration. A piece for collectors and designers who value weight, warmth, and visible substance more than optical lightness.
