DESCRIPTION:

Vibrant Lot of Pinkish Purplish Red to Cranberry Tanzanian Rhodolite Garnet Nodule Facet Rough. Overall most of this material is clearly Rhodolite; however, there look to be a few Malaya Garnets mixed into the parcel as well as other other species of Garnet including a few stones that look like Umbalite. This Lot is running roughly 50%+ High to Top Facet Grade with the remainder being a mix of lower Facet Grade qualities and Cabbing Rough. We have discounted the lot to reflect the quality of the rough as a whole making it a bargain not to be missed. At $.08 a carat there is no way you can lose with this parcel!

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.
