Comments:
Extra bright, and extra juicy! That's what the new find from 2024 is known for / has gotten a reputation for.
I have done a bit of experimenting with a few of my favorites that I bought to use as facet rough, and I have not been disappointed yet. The range of pinks and the piercing saturation make this gem type a special treat. Magenta and hot pink fight back and forth for dominance.
These garnets appeared, were bought up, and disappeared within about 9 months. They are still around, and will be for a while still, but the original supply is gone, and now the material will sell until it is also gone.
Grab this one while it lasts!! perfect for a fancy ring or pendant.
