Lab-created (fake) Garnet have no inclusions of this nature, and neither do natural Garnet, but if you find flaws, then your Garnet is genuine.

Examine the gemstone for air bubbles. Essentially, lab-created Garnet are glass that has undergone a process similar to that which forms natural Garnet. Since they are made of glass, they retain miniscule air bubbles after formation. If there are bubbles within the Garnet, it is not genuine. Be sure to inspect your Garnet from every angle by turning it over. There is a possibility that bubbles of air will only be evident from a single angle.

Look at how light is reflected by the Garnet. Turn off all the lights and shine your flashlight on the Garnet. If it is genuine, it will only reflect light of the same hue as itself. If it is a fake, made of glass, it will reflect colors other than the natural color of the gem.

Garnets are always safe to clean with warm soapy water. The ultrasonic cleaner is generally safe, with the exception of stones with fractures.

Cleaning with steam is not recommended. Rarely, garnets may be treated with fracture filling. Only warm, soapy water should be used to clean stones containing fractures.
