Clean Clean Clean!!
The chrome kornerupine is very clean, and shows purple and teal together in varying proportions, at varying angles. Its got a great, high dome, with a perfect polish.
The vanadium kornerupine has just the lightest amount of silk in it. It's a great medium lime green.
Both of these would make a great ring or pendant, of any kind.
Kornerupine is SO rare that nearly all clean pieces get turned into gemstones. It is SO rare to find clean, good looking, colorful chrome OR vanadium kornerupine out on the open market. I've produced these because I want to see them exist!
Enjoy!
