QUALITY ROUGH

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.This is a clean stone which will be a pleasure to cut.

Size 16X9X8 mm app

Weight 12.90 cts

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.

The owner Paul Sedawie is the current president of the Opal Association.All my life i have enjoyed collecting minerals and fossils .I have been opal mining and now have a large opalized fossil collection of museum quality.I enjoy visiting mines in different parts of the world and try to buy direct off the miner or as close to the source as possible to give you the best deals.Natural stones/minerals fascinate me so I don�t stock laboratory made stones.I have a few sites here which I head under the Seda group.I believe that your continued business is my business so I hope you enjoy the amazing array and beauty of nature I have to offer.Best Regards Paul Sedawie We have a retail shop/museum at the Gold Coast Opal and Gem Centre 25 surfers av mermaid waters Qld Australia .4218 open mon to sat 10 to 5

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.
