SPESSARTINE2

This Garnet is BIG. It comes from the same deposit that hit the market with a "splash," a couple years ago. When first discovered garnets this size were priced at $3,000 and higher. The deposit proved to be overly fruitful, and the price fell dramatically. For $295, this is a great value for exactly what it is: a well formed orange-red spessartine garnet. It weighs 285 grams (over 10 ozs). There is some very minute chipping along an edge or two, but overall it's in good condition with good color and nice sharp faces as pictured.
