Garnet

This is one of the prettiest colored, brightest Tanga garnets I've cut, but it had a little surprise in one end so it's really only going to look good set in a pendant with the included end hanging on the bottom. You can see what looks like a bit of lint on the left end of the stone. This stone also faces up to be fairly large for what it weighs, but because of the end that isn't quite eye clean, the price is reduced on this one. This would make an awesome pendant. Color: Hot Reddish Medium Pink, Cut: Elongated Emerald with Scissors Cut Crown, Weight: 2.15, Dimensions: 5.6 x 9.7 mm.
