Comments:
The two largest gems in this parcel are Vanadium Kornerupine, while all of the rest of them (7 pcs.) are Chrome-bearing.
All of the gems perform quite well when viewed head-on from the top, as gems are meant to be viewed, though in the pictures, as you'll see, I had trouble getting them all to face the camera lens at the same time. Only the very smallest, gray one (the only one with its corners left) is kind of 'meh;' All of the rest know how to show off.
