Price : SOLD

Comments : There's a party going on inside this gemstone and you're invited! This is a stunningly bright "fanta" orange spessartite garnet from Tanzania. It is cut in my "Acorn" design which turns this garnet into a dazzling fireball... it is as if the sun came down and decided to party.

The colour is devine and is that highly desirable "fanta" orange. These garnets are becoming increasing scarce as the deposits become exhausted and I personally think a very good investment because the prices on these will only go up. This gem would look fabulous as a solitare ring cause it surely will do all the talking!

There are several very minor small veils which you really need a loupe to see... they do not detract from the appearance of the gem at all. This is really a dazzling gem and one you will be very happy with.

Comments : Well folks, when I first looked at this garnet after it came off the dop and was cleaned up it took my breath away. The photos do not do it any justice... it is simply stunning. The colours are rich and deep and gorgeous. The gem is not dark... simply rich and luscious. There is a small inclusion veil near one edge of the pavilion that is all but invisible when viewed from the top. This is one seriously nice gem!
