Ant Hill garnets are named on account of being mined by ants! When excavating their little homes, ants in select regions like Arizona come across garnets and bring them to the surface to discard them from their hill. The gems are then typically washed by rainwater and then found by gem collectors. This beautiful ring is made with natural ant hill garnet and lab created moissanite accents. The total gemstone carat weight of the ring is 2.20. The ring is set in solid .925 sterling silver with an 18k yellow gold vermeil. The garnet and moissanite are both tested in the photos for verification. Size 5.
