DESCRIPTION:

This is a super lot of a NEW FIND of Hessonite Garnet coming from Afghanistan. The color of this material is just phenomenal and runs from a lovely almost Mandarin Orange to a fiery Tangerine with Red Flashes! Please be aware that this rough may be a mixture of Spessartite and/or Hessonite (Possibly other Garnets as well) which are generally included species of Garnet. It is extremely difficult to acquire eye-clean to flawless rough in either species. This lot represents some of the better material we have seen to date!!!

Most of this material WILL cut eye-clean to very slightly included stones at best with many of the stones being in the very slightly to slightly included range. These inclusions should NOT significantly impact the cleaner finished stones. This lot is running roughly 75%+ Medium to High Facet Grade and there are some KILLER stones in here. The clarity on this material is generally very similar to your TYPICAL Nigerian and Namibian Mandarin Garnet! Don't miss your chance on picking up this lot as this quality is a RARITY!
