The color of this stone is so exceptionally good that when we first saw it we thought it might be purple-colored lead glass that sometimes gets offered as “garnet” on the rough markets.
Fortunately, it is a natural, untreated garnet with an amazing color. It’s so rich, vivid and bright for a garnet that it’d take sifting through thousands of stones to even have a chance of finding another.
Loupe clean, well cut and brilliant.
