Description
This is an unusually large rhodolite garnet, and a beautiful deep red color. It’s filled with fine needs of rutile that give it a “sleepy” look, but is still a stunning gem. The gem can appear darker than this photo, depending on the lighting, but interestingly enough it performs very well in low light. I suspect that this is the result of the rutile needles, which help reflect the light around more inside the gem, giving it a soft glow. The two photos on my hand are in natural diffused daylight and are a good representation of the typical appearance of the gem. I faceted it from an alluvial nodule that weighed 40 carats–so I managed to get a 40% yield on this deep oval design. It weighs 15.87 carats and measures 15.5 x 11.8 x 11.3 mm.

Video Request
Although we do our best to take the highest quality images, sometimes it can be difficult to envision how it will look on your hand. We can take a video of up to four gems side by on the hand to help you compare them and see how they perform in daylight. Please provide the following information, and include the SKU numbers or links to the stones you would like to see a video of.
Please note that we don’t do 360-degree videos as colored gems are optimized to be viewed face up, and because the current technology is such that none of the 360-degree systems we have tested provides the accurate color. Our desire is to present the most honest and accurate color possible!
