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 70%+ High to Top Facet Grade with the remainder being a mix of lower Facet Grade qualities and Cabbing Rough. Please note that the material does look much better and brighter than the above pictures indicate. We have discounted the lot making it a bargain not to be missed. At $.20 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.
