DESCRIPTION: |
Magnificent Lot of Pinkish Red to Crimson Orangey Red Malaya Garnet Faceting Rough from Tanzania. Almost every stone in here is a well shaped, chunky, water-worn pebble capable of giving above average yield. Most stones are nice and vibrant and will undoubtedly produce spectacular finished gems; however, there are a few dark stones probably constituting around 20% of the parcel. Unlike most of the newer Malaya Garnet being produced most of this material is not excessively dark or brown. There may be a couple of Rhodolite and Spessartite Garnets in this parcel but that is pure speculation. It is too cost prohibitive to test and evaluate each stone. This material is running roughly 70%+ High to Top Facet Grade. We don't have a steady stock of this so grab this before it is gone. |
