DESCRIPTION:

Vibrant Lot of Electric Pinkish Purplish Red to Purplish Pink Tanzanian Rhodolite/Umbalite and Orangey Rose Red Malaya Garnet Alluvial Faceting Rough. This Lot is running roughly 85%+ Top Facet Grade and truly is a site to behold. The only reason we can not say it is 95%+ Top Facet Grade is because of the alluvial nature of the material preventing us from viewing the interior of a few stones.

The lot as a whole is very clean and the bulk of the lot is probably Rhodolite but there were a few Malaya's mixed in the parcel and at least one Umbalite from a quick look over. This is not small material averaging in at about 8 Carats and we are confident you will take some stunning finished stones out of this parcel!

This is old stock material and we do NOT anticipate on getting any more in the near future. This is unusually bright material seldom available as of late at a decent price! Practically every one of these is a chunky nodule shaped for high yield and much of this is the material you see being sold all around at $8.00+ per carat! The lot is priced to sell so don't miss out.

COOL FACTS:
  1. Bright Pink and Pinkish Red Garnet is a rarity as the market is overflowing with overly dark Red and Brownish Red material that has become the norm for facet grade garnet. This material is extremely vibrant and clean!
