Arizona Garnet Earrings – Rare, Ant-Mined Beauty in Every Pair

Discover the fiery brilliance of Arizona Anthill Garnet earrings, a true American gemstone treasure, offered in one of the most extensive selections in the country at Sami Fine Jewelry. Mined in the Four Corners region of Arizona—and brought to the surface by ants—these garnets are as fascinating in origin as they are in color.

Our collection of Arizona Garnet earrings features vibrant red gemstones set in 14k gold or sterling silver, designed for those who want to wear something rare, meaningful, and entirely American. Whether you’re looking for elegant studs, stylish dangles, or a custom creation, Sami’s has a pair of earrings that will shine with personality and purpose.

What Makes Arizona Garnet So Unique?

Arizona Anthill Garnet is a deep red pyrope garnet that comes from the Navajo Nation in the Four Corners area of Northern Arizona and New Mexico. The most unique thing about this garnet is how it’s mined—harvester ants naturally dig up the stones as they tunnel, pushing them to the surface of their anthills.

The name "Anthill Garnet" comes from this incredible natural process, which also makes the stone incredibly rare, eco-friendly, and ethically sourced. These stones are collected by hand, without heavy equipment, and without disturbing the land.

Because of the ants’ size, most garnets are naturally small—usually under 5mm. Larger stones are extremely rare and highly prized, as they maintain their fire-red brilliance without getting too dark.

At Sami Fine Jewelry, we are proud to offer a rare collection of larger, vivid red Arizona Garnets—perfect for elegant, bold earrings that stand out in every way.
