1.48 ct Grossular Garnet cut by Gary Braun of finewater Gems. I bought this lovely mint 4 years ago. This color is getting much tougher to find. From the original listing:
My broker in Kenya found me a slightly yellowish-green grossular garnet that I've cut into a classic oval Barion design. The name grossular is derived from the botanical name for the gooseberry, which is similar in color (I know this for a fact - we had them on my parent's farm!). Typical of many grossular garnets from this region, it fluoresces orange under UV light (especially the 405nm wavelength). Eye-clean with lots of sparkle and flash.
1.48 ct, 8.4 x 5.3 x 4.7mm, VS clarity
Pair of oval diamonds
One is .33 G-H VS1 and the other is a .27 G-H I1
