Item Description

Garnet comes in virtually every color of the rainbow. These gems remind me somewhat of the great "Cinnamon" Grossulars from the Jeffrey Quarry in Quebec, Canada. I've seen this material for a few years now and it is very impressive for Grossular both from the standpoint of clarity AND color. This gem is very very slightly included and has a lively light orange color with a slight peach overtone (similar to Imperial Topaz) and a beautiful "Marquise" cut. I think that this is a very underappreciated gem, and this color is not seen very often in Grossular so don't miss out.
