Garnet – Natural, Faceted, Pink
This garnet shifts to a stunning, intense orangy reddish pink under incandescent light. It has an RI of about 1.748 compared with a rhodolite I checked that was 1.76. Also, the inclusions are transparent crystal type rather than the usual rutile needles found in "rhodolite" garnets. Color: Red-Pink, Treatment: None Known, Cut: Custom Round Brilliant, Dimensions: 9.28. (Information supplied by photo contributor.) © Daniel Stair, CustomGemstones.com
