Description:Garnets are often seen in cut stones and sometimes in cabochons, but the "4-rayed Star" effect that is seen in this material is not very common. This "Oval Cabochon" cut stone has a very deep purplish-red color and is somewhat translucent. You need to put in under a strong light for the "star" to show up, but it's there, and this is a unique gem the likes of which you don't see very often on the market. This is one of the largest stones of this material that I have handled. Retail value is $699.
