Gemstone: Hessonite Garnet - 6.17 Cts.
Ceylon (Sri Lanka)
11.06 x 10.16 x 6.16 mm

This distinctive gemstone belongs to the Grossular Garnet species and represents the richly colored Hessonite variety. Cut in a radiant shape with mixed faceting, it displays lively brilliance and strong scintillation. The red orange to orange red hue is bold and classic for fine Hessonite. While minor nicks are present on the crown and pavilion, the overall presentation remains appealing. Internally, the gem features the signature "scotch-in-water" effect-an optical trait caused by fine inclusions. With vibrant color and natural character, this would be a compelling addition to any collection.
