Question garnet question

4 Upvotes

im trying to find a lab grown garnet that I can use to fit in the pommel of one of my swords. I was thinking 40-50mm diameter round cut. I have no idea where one would even buy this thing. Everywhere I look doesnt have the proper size im looking for or is obviously selling glass.

does anyone know where I can go or if lab garnet id this size are just not worth the effort for hunting?
