DESCRIPTION: |
Vibrant Lot of Pinkish Purplish Red Tanzanian Umbalite Garnet Facet Rough. WE PURCHASED this from miners housed up right next to the Umba River on our last buying trip there! Unlike some of the other Umbalite we are selling where we depend on the sellers word, there is no doubt with this material! This is some of the most amazing Purplish Pink colored Garnet we have seen. There is a very limited amount of this produced on location and the locals ask an arm and a leg for it. This Lot is running roughly 75%+ High Facet Grade with the remainder being a mix of lower Facet Grade qualities and Cabbing Rough. A few stones do have inclusions and silk; however, it is a bargain not to be missed. The lot is priced to sell so don't miss out. |
