This unique Garnet is of the Grossularite species and Hessonite variety. The fashionable stone has an emerald shape with mixed faceting. The stone comes to life with nice scintillation and brilliance with a strong red orange/orange red hue. This gemstone has a few minor nicks to the crown and pavilion and is included with the iconic "scotch-in-water-effect," but overall, it is a nice offering with great color and intriguing natural inclusions.

Estimate: $400 - up.
