This is an oval, 3.01 ct color change garnet that I got from Gary Braun at finewater - in December he had a blowout sale and this was one of the garnets available. I don't have any further info on the gem other than the size and clarity, as Gary didn't include that. It was just a first come/first serve type of thing. I am asking what I paid for the garnet, which is really a great deal for this size in a precision cut cc garnet.
The color is a bit difficult to describe. It looks to me to be a sort of chestnut color in daylight, although in lower daylight conditions it can shift to almost a bit greenish/brownish - see the fourth pic. It has a strong change to a beautiful raspberry color in incandescent lighting.
Gary listed the clarity as SI and there are clearly visible inclusions on one side of the gem, which are more visible in some lighting conditions than others. Exact dimensions per Gary are 9.6 x 7.1 x 5.8
It is not everyone's cup of tea, but for the size and cut, the price is pretty awesome :) However, this is considered a final sale, so please ask all questions before purchase.
Shipping included in price, within US only.
Please ask all questions before deciding to buy; I am selling from my collection, and as such do not offer returns. I answer questions quickly, and will do my best to make sure you have all info before buying. I'm an active PS member and ebay seller under the ID katharath; you can check out my feedback if you like, I've sold for many years on ebay and more recently, over here :)
Thanks for looking!
