DESCRIPTION:

Magnificent Lot of bright Pinkish Red to 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.

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 Almandine 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 75%+ High to Top Facet Grade. This is NOT small material averaging in at almost 12 CARATS! We don't have a steady stock of this and don't anticipate putting up more than a few lots in the future so grab this before it is gone.

COOL FACTS:
  1. Tanzanian production of Malaya Garnet seems to be at a virtual standstill.
