Sorry for the hassle!...
Asking $149 OBO, I can negotiate on this set...
Included is this listing is a precision cut pair of umbalite garnets (4.5 mm round, by Dana at Mastercut); and a "purple" precision cut garnet cut by Bob Sivinski, 6.5 mm round.
These garnets are NOT a perfectly matched trio; of course the umbalite pair is matched, but they are not a color match for the larger garnet. However, I think they look really pretty together, so I thought I would offer them together.
Specs:
- umbalite garnet pair from Dana; 4.5 mm round precision cut matched pair
- "purple" garnet, 6.5 mm round, lovely high crown, precision cut by Bob Sivinski (the cut reminds me a bit of Gene's star 80 cut). I do not know what type of garnet this is, but it is a color shifter! Bordering on almost color change. It shows gorgeous blue sparks shooting throughout in certain sunlight, and it can shift to almost a dark blue color. It's difficult/ impossible to photograph the shifts, and there was no way to get it to show it here. It's a rather unusual garnet and I've never seen another like it. It can really be quite stunning. It's usual color is more of a purplish though.
I've included photos in varying lighting situations to show a general idea. Pics include artificial light, and sunlight from diffused up to very strong direct sun.
Shipping included in price, within US only. (Sorry but I only ship within the US!). Pymt via paypal only, please. This will ship insured via USPS.
