Gemstone: Almandite Garnet - 29.79 Cts.
Sri Lanka (Ceylon)

This striking cushion-shaped Almandite Garnet, sourced from the remote gem-rich regions of Sri Lanka (formerly Ceylon), showcases a deep orangey red hue bodycolor. Weighing an impressive nearly 30 carats, the gem exhibits intense saturation, very good brilliance, and notable scintillation. The stunner is eye and loupe-clean, in pristine condition, and features mixed cut faceting, as the crown displays brilliant facets and the pavilion step cut facets. Skillfully cut and polished, this gem stands as a testament to the beauty, popularity, and allure of Garnet, making it one distinguished specimen just begging to be made into an incredible piece of jewelry.
Measurements: 18.24 x 16.21 x 11.17 mm, 29.79 cts.
