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 great light orange color with a slight peach overtone and a beautiful "Step Oval" 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. Valued at $139 retail.
