Origin: Namibia Weight: 7.48 carats Size: 15.5 x 9 x 6 mm deep Clarity: Slight natural inclusions visible. Still a bright and very beautiful gem! Cut: Well cut stepped oval facet. Color: Fanta Mandarin orange! Best Mandarin color period! Treatment: None, guaranteed natural color! Note: This is a fantastic Top Gem Color Mandarin Spessartite Garnet. Namibia was the 1st major source of Mandarin garnet discovered and now Namibian mines are virtually depleted. While typically more included than the newer Nigerian material, the incredible color is the industry standard for true "Mandarin" color. Even with the natural inclusions, this is an extremely beautiful and brilliant Gem with incredible rich Mandarin Orange Color! In the last year,the price of Mandarin garnet has more than doubled and Mandarin color rough is very difficult to source. |
