Vibrant Lot of Electric Pinkish Purplish Red to Purplish Red Tanzanian Rhodolite & Umbalite Garnet Alluvial Faceting Rough. The lot for the most part looks to be Rhodolite and/or Umbalite; however, there is a stone or two in the parcel that is more rightly classified as Malaya. Please note that this material looks much Pinker than the above pictures indicate. This Lot is running roughly 90%+ Top Facet Grade and truly is a site to behold. A few stones do have minor inclusions and silk; however, the lot as a whole is very clean and practically every stone should facet Eye-Clean or better with a little planning. Much of this is the material you see being sold all around at $4.00+ per carat! The lot is priced to sell so don't miss out. |
