Gemstone: Rhodolite Garnet - 4.45 Cts.
Ceylon (Sri Lanka)
10.11 x 8.18 x 5.58 mm

Displaying a dominant purplish-red hue with medium-dark tone and strong saturation, this Rhodolite Garnet offers the rich, velvety color collectors prize. The emerald cut emphasizes the gem's internal depth, producing clean flashes of brilliance along the step facets. Beautiful symmetry and proportion reinforce the stone's refined presentation, with minor nicks along a few facet junctions doing little to diminish the overall impact. The clarity remains notably appealing, allowing light to move evenly through the bodycolor. This elegant Garnet presents a striking example of the expressive purplish-red palette characteristic of fine Rhodolite.
