Rhodolite Garnet – Natural, Faceted, Pink, 4.77 ct

This garnet was cut with a 10-sided design rather than the usual 8-sided round brilliant. It also has 10-extra facets added to the culet in a pinwheel pattern . The rough was marked "Umbalite", but I think it's more a standard rhodolite that may or may not be from the Umba River. Color: Deeper Raspberry Red Pink, Treatment: None, Cut: Fancy 10-Sided Round Brilliant, Weight: 4.77, Dimensions: 10.34.
