Enormous! 16.38ct black red Spessartite Garnet

This elegant garnet has a secret. When casually observed, this gemstone has a silky black body color, but when held to the light, you can see deep red tones through its quietly translucent body and VS clarity. When worn in the sunlight, you will get shadows of this red through its body. This piece has fantastic size for its gem type measuring a whopping 15mm x 13.2mm x 9.3mm, and every facet glistens under its superior luster. It's deep body color makes it perfect for both formal and casual wear. Sourced from Mozambique. Untreated!!!
