Is it OK for your ultrasonic cleaner?

Garnet

Yes
Check first
No

Garnet usually handles ultrasonic cleaning if the stone has no fractures.

Updated from your answers.

A few questions to be sure

Can you see cracks in the stone?

How to do it

Time
3 min
Water
Lukewarm, 30–40 °C

One or two drops of mild, unscented dish soap. Rinse in clean water and dry with the microfiber cloth.

With these answers we do not recommend the ultrasonic cleaner, so there is no how-to.

Pick your cleaner to see if it fits, which setting to use and what its manual says.

Why

GIA writes that ultrasonic cleaning is usually safe except for stones with fractures. Steam is not recommended. Fracture-filled garnets are rare but do occur.

Watch out for

  • Visible fractures: avoid
  • Demantoid is softer – run it on its own
