DESCRIPTION: |
This is a fairly new find of Spessartite & Hessonite Garnet coming from Kunar, Afghanistan. The color of this material is just phenomenal and it falls into a very broad spectrum! Please be aware that this rough is a mixture of Spessartite Rough and/or Hessonite Rough (Possibly other Garnet as well) which are generally included species of Garnet and hence, it is extremely difficult to acquire eye-clean to flawless rough in either species. Most of this material WILL have at least minor inclusions. This should NOT significantly impact the cleaner finished stones. We have rough graded this material as being 50%+ facet grade. This is a rough estimate and includes both low and high end facet rough. The remainder is a mix of various cabbing grades and faceting rough that needs to be cobbed. |
