Comments:
This is a fantastic example of this rare garnet type. It is one of the best examples I have seen of this type of garnet, actually. It is equally able to be a top specimen in your mineral collection, or it could be very happy in a gold or silver setting, and worn as a pendant. It is remarkably aesthetic, and has the stability to match.
I have kept this one in my own personal collection, thinking that I might someday soon make it into a pendant. Well, I find myself behind on my project wish list, and so I am offering it for sale for a limited time. When I find some time in early 2026, I plan to revisit this piece. Until then, it is UP FOR GRABS!!
