***ADDITIONAL DETAILS***

A gorgeous stone, and an excellent example of why medium-toned grossular garnets became so popular to begin with – it’s vivid, exceptionally clean, well cut and very brilliant.

The green hue looks even and about as saturated as any medium tone can get, which we couldn’t sadly capture in the images to the extent that it appears to the eye in person. It stays green and fully lit in just about every lighting scenario imaginable.

Clarity is almost flawless – the few tiny crystals near the girdle only appear under the loupe after a very thorough search and we initially had to put it under a microscope to even confirm they were actually there.

To add to that, it also has the rare type of cold/crystalline/metallic brilliance that’s sometimes seen in exceptionally clean grossular garnets, chrysoberyls and tanzanites.

***COLORS AND ACCURACY***

All of our images are extensively, carefully and thoroughly edited and color-matched to reflect the stones in normal diffused daylight viewing conditions by editing with the stone and the monitor side by side in daylight. Consequently, the colors in the photos are as close as they get to reality when viewed on a normal monitor with a generic RGB display calibration profile - this includes most mobile devices but if in doubt, please always check on a desktop/laptop.

If you'd like more photos or videos of anything, please by all means just e-mail anytime.

***SHIPPING***

Tracked and insured shipping is included in the price.

***PAYMENT***

PayPal preferred under $1,000. Over $1,000 a direct bank TT is preferable but PayPal is still an option if their fees are covered.

***RETURNS***

Returns are totally okay but please note that they come minus the insured shipping costs paid to send you the stones. A government-issued invoice signed and stamped by Customs, government valuer-gemmologists and postal agents for stones + shipping comes within every parcel with the exact breakdown of shipping and insurance costs paid on export. Most of the time those amount to $55-60 for sub $1k value stones.
