Garnet inventory software for dealers
Garnets are garnet stones sourced mainly from Sri Lanka, India, Tanzania, Kenya and Madagascar. Garnet covers many varieties such as rhodolite, tsavorite, spessartite and demantoid, each with its own pricing. A system needs a clear variety field and parcel-level costing for the many small stones.
What to record for each garnet
Typical fields: variety, colour, weight, origin and parcel number. GemColony keeps these on the stone record with photos and a barcode or QR label.
Parcels, lots and memos
Buy garnets as a lot, split it into parcels and single stones, and send stones out on memo while seeing who holds them and for how long.
