| DESCRIPTION: |
Magnificent Lot of bright Pinkish Red to Orangey Red Malaya Garnet Faceting Rough from Tanzania. This lot was purchased on our recent trip to Tanzania and we were told that this material is from a newly discovered alluvial deposit in the Rovuma River. Almost every stone in here is a well shaped, chunky, water-worn pebble capable of giving above average yield. Most stones are nice and vibrant and will undoubtedly produce spectacular finished gems. Unlike most of the newer Malaya Garnet being produced this material is not excessively dark or brown. There may be a couple of Rhodolite and Almandine Garnets in this parcel but that is pure speculation. It is too cost prohibitive to test and evaluate each stone. This material is running roughly 80%+ High Facet Grade. We don't' have a steady stock of this and don't anticipate putting up more than another lot or two in the future so grab this before it is gone. |
