Comments:
This set of cabochons is perfect for a busy ring maker. These would all look great in little every-day rings, stacker rings, solitaire pendants, etc etc. The color and brightness would catch eyes in any setting.
The large oval has some noticeable inclusions, but not many, and the rest of these beauties have a little spot, or silk here and there, very sparsely. I can't quite call them VS because I can see a little something in them all, but these are for the most part very clean, almost totally clean to the eye at viewing distance.
GREAT energetic springtime green -- similar color to a mint garnet, less yellow than peridot, and wayyyyyy less expensive than tsavorite.
Priced a bit below retail price due to the quantity.
