GROSSULAR GARNET

This is a natural untreated stone i bought on my last trip to Tanzania where i went to the mine in Merelani where most of this production comes from.

Weight: 0.78 cts
Clarity: VVS2
Size: 6.8 x 5 x 3.1mm

Origin: tanzania
Treatment: none

Hardness: 7 - 7.5

There is also production in Mali but usually not as clean as this material.

Good specimens of grossular usually come from metamorphosed limestones where calcium is abundant and iron absent.  The other "ugrandite" garnets,andradite and uvarovite  have iron and chromium in place of the aluminum . The garnets usually form good crystals with this form—round with 12 sides or 24 sides . Grossular is usually green, but it may also be colorless through yellow, red and brown. The yellow-brown variety, which contains some iron, is known in the trade as essonite, hessonite, cinnamon stone, hyacinth or jacinth.

Why are users outbidding themselves?

When a bid is placed, this is the maximum amount a user is willing to bid for the product. Our system will then automatically bid on that users behalf, incrementally increasing the bid to maintain their position as the highest bidder, up to the specified maximum.

When there is an icon indicating 'Auto Bid,' it means our system is actively placing bids for the user based on their maximum bid. This may appear as if users are outbidding themselves, but it's simply a result of the system updating the bid to reflect the users maximum limit.

Audit

The Gemstone Sheriff program allows our members to request an audit on any product, which is completed by an independent Gemologist who assesses the accuracy of the item description and pictures.
