Item Description
Rhodolite Garnets are some of the most vivid and beautiful gems in the Garnet family. These stones are beloved for their great color and large size stones. The Rhodolites from Tanzania are amazingly attractive, and are fast becoming very popular among collectors and dealers, as this material is not very common. This gem has a strong red color face up, with VSI clarity. The cut on this stone is a "Concave Checkerboard Cushion" cut. The fact that this stone is over 4 carats makes all the difference, as few stones reach this size from Tanzania. It is a superb, larger size stone from what is proving to be one of the premier localities in the world for the material. Do not miss out on this beauty. The high end retail value on this stone is $410.
