DESCRIPTION:

Vibrant Lot of Large Pinkish Purplish Red to Cranberry Tanzanian Rhodolite Garnet Nodule Facet Rough. Overall most of this material is clearly Rhodolite; however, there looks to be a Malaya Garnet mixed in with the lot (Only 1 stone it looks like is a Malaya). This Lot is running roughly 90%+ Medium to High Facet Grade with the remainder being a mix of lower Facet Grade qualities and Cabbing Rough. Please note that many stones do have a degree of silk present that will give some of the finished stones a sleepy look; however, it is EXTREMELY difficult to get clean Rhodolite Nodules from Tanzania and this is some of the best new production material we saw on our recent buying trip to Tanzania. Much of this is the material you see being sold all around at $3.00+ per carat! The lot is priced to sell so don't miss out.

COOL FACTS:
  1. Bright Pink and Pinkish Red Garnet is a rarity as the market is overflowing with overly dark Red and Brownish Red material that has become the norm for facet grade garnet. This material is extremely vibrant and clean! We are confident that this material will leave you in awe at the very least!
