Tanzanian Rhodolite Garnet 4.8 ctPhi Flower Dome by Doug MenadueFaceted by Doug Menadue Photography by Doug Menadue Stone : Rhodolite Garnet Cut By : Doug Menadue, 2010 Item : #235 Design : Phi Flower Dome (Doug Menadue) Origin : Tanzania Treatments : None Weight : 4.8 carats Clarity : Eye Clean Size : 10 x 10 x 6.5 mm Price : $640 AUD Comments : This is a luscious rich red rhodolite from Tanzania. There are strong vibrant red tones with purple/pink/plum overtones and is beautifully eye clean. It has very good scintillation with eye catching violet purple sparkles... when I first took it out into the sunlight to admire it I was surprised by this violet sparkle as I wasn't expecting it. This is a very fine rhodolite and is cut in my own 161 faceted "Phi Flower Dome" design. I had in mind that it would look fantastic set in a solid gent's gold ring. This would certainly be a special setting if you went in this direction. A very beautiful gem! |
