Comments:
This vanadium kornerupine is cut in a custom design by Scott Maier. It has great polish and meet-points, and BONUS: it has really great, rich color.
As sometimes happens, this kornerupine has a color which reaches into the tsavorite range.
Because it has a few inclusions, and because it's a hair less than 3/4 ct., this piece is priced affordably, but I think it can still steal the show in a custom ring or pendant.
