DESCRIPTION: |
Awesome NEW discovery of Mandarin Spessartite Garnet coming from northern Afghanistan. This is an awesome lot of Garnet Cabochons that run from a pure Mandarin Orange to a very slightly Reddish Orange in color. The clarity of this lot really is mixed with quite a few of the smaller stones being extremely clean. One could easily facet quite a few of these stones because of the high degree of clarity they possess. Please note that it is VERY VERY difficult to get this material and there is only a VERY limited amount produced annually with high grade rough amounting to a few kilos at most but usually well under 1 kilo. These are very well cut cabs with excellent polish overall and we are confident that you will not find this deal elsewhere. We have managed to work out a contract with the Mandarin mine owner in Afghanistan to purchase all production and therefore it is next to impossible for you to acquire this material elsewhere. We PERSONALLY recommend this lot as it is a steal for the price. We know of no place you can pick up cabbed Mandarin of this quality at this price! Please note that we have personally seen this lot on our last trip to Pakistan and can therefore vouch for its quality. This lot was held in limbo while an agreement was reached on the status of annual production and purchasing rights with the Mandarin Mine Owner. Don't miss your chance to pick this lot up as we are confident you will regret it!! |
