Namanga Garnet custom cut by Ryan Quantz.

Ryan writes:

Namanga garnet from Kenya is just yet another flavor of garnet heavy on rhodolite in the mix. Most are eye-clean to slightly included, are typically not dark like others can be and come in mostly pure reds and orangey reds- Some lean more toward the purple side as well, such as this stone does. The specimen in this listing was a slightly included piece that I used for a new, experimental pentagon cut of my own design. It turned out so well that I added the stone to my inventory, despite the inclusions. It is a bright stone, glowing in certain lighting and in others just very flashy. It's a good size, great color and precision cut- All for a conservative price thanks to the inclusions. Untreated.
