Description

Today I'm offering up this round, Portuguese cut Mali garnet. It weighs in at 1.02 cts. It is a loose gem which has never been set, and was purchased by me from Jim McCormick.

It's a great gem, but I've started to sell some of the gems that I don't think I'll be setting, and this is one of those. Natural and untreated. Sparkly and pretty.

It's a very beautiful color for a Mali, and unusual from my experience - it looks more like a peridot green color! (It is a Mali garnet though - this color comes up every so often). It's very bright and almost lime-y in color. I'm including Jim's picture which is extremely close up and seems to make the gem look "worse" than it looks IRL; it looks prettier for sure :)

Please ask all questions before deciding to buy; I am selling from my collection and strongly prefer not to deal with returns.
