Description:Almandine Garnets are some of the most vivid and beautiful gems in the Garnet family. These stones are beloved for their great color and large size stones. Garnets are generally very difficult to find in stones over 4 or 5 carats because the material simply does not often form large, gemmy sections that produce large stones. This gem hails from one of the lesser known gem districts in the world. Is is a RICH reddish-purple color stone and a good sized gem for this material. The stone is only very slightly included and has an "Oval Brilliant" cut. A great opportunity for a Garnet to collector to add a beautiful gem to their collection.
