DESCRIPTION:

Vibrant Lot of Pinkish Purplish Red to Purplish Pink Tanzanian Umbalite and Rhodolite Garnet Nodule Facet Rough. This material is from a fairly new find coming from Lindi on the East Coast of Africa. There is a lot of Peachy Garnet coming out with this material that shows a slight color change; however, it is the Rhodolite that tends to be much cleaner. 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. A few stones do have inclusions and silk; however, the lot as a whole is very clean. 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 $.40 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.
