Rhodolite Garnet - Supernova Oval - 5.98ct
This is a wonderful natural rhodolite garnet from Tanzania that has a soft inner glow that is beguiling and beautiful to behold. The gem has the classic raspberry pinkish red hues that rhodolite is renown for and at night under lights it is truly magnificent. I picked this single particular stone from a large parcel of rhodolite, there was just something about it that sung to me... it had this glow that kept drawing my eye to it. The stone does have some of the usual fine silky needle inclusions (but is otherwise clean) that rhodolite often has and I think this is in part what gives the gem it's special glow. I knew as soon as I saw it that the Supernova Oval would be perfect for it and that was ultimately the design I ended up cutting. I have included some pics of the gem being faceted along with a couple of the original rough stone.
