Color Change Garnet – Natural, Faceted, Purple, 1.08 ct
A nice sized color change garnet that goes from grape purple under daylight fluorescent to pinkish purple under daylight and intense magenta reddish pink under incandescent lighting . It has some typical silk that may show slightly in direct sunlight but is eye clean otherwise. This stone is a bit darker than ideal, so it's about half the price it woul be if it were just a little bit brighter. Color: Grape Purple to Reddish Hot Pink, Treatment: None, Cut: Barion Keystone Shape, Weight: 1.08, Dimensions: 7.14 x 5.06.
