- What Super Rare Watermelon Garnet (Hydrogrossular Garnet)
- Origin Buffelsrontein and Turffontein, South Africa
- Inclusions None

Why is this so rare? Well here is the history/story of this particular stone. This stone was found in South Africa in the 1930’s. The guy that found it buried it to hid it from the Nazi Germans. His family dug it back up after the the Nazi danger disappeared. Years later the family sold it to a guy in Germany (funny way things work sometimes) who sold it to us. We have been sitting on this material for years. I can not seem to find much if it on the market so I though I could put some up here on the auction site for you all to enjoy and hopefully own!

Who are we?
Fox Hop is small company located in Denver, Colorado USA with just two American stone cutters with over 29 years in the business. Most stones on our auctions have be cut by us on precision machines; not in some cutting factory.
Why does that matter you might ask?
American cutters in general have a much higher standard in regards to the quality of rough material used, precise cutting and we spend that extra time to get the best polish on each and every stone. Since we buy the best rough material from our reliable sources around the world and cut everything ourselves; we can guarantee that all stones are real and untreated unless noted. In addition, when we cut a stone we learn everything about that stone (inclusions, cracks, color banding and treatments). This allows you the luxury of knowing that what is listed and stated about this stone is completely accurate.
We never carry stones that have been heavily treated such as fissure filled, glass filled or cavity filled sapphires, ruby’s or emeralds. The only stones with treatment that we allow into our inventory is strictly limited to common heat or oil for emeralds. All of our stones are authentic high end gems. Gem certifications are available on any and all of our items. Please just ask.
Since we are not a factory we usually cut only a few stones a day. We do a lot of custom cutting and stone repair work as well. Our inventory of quality rough material is vast and we have a WHOLE LOT of it. More that we can cut in our entire lives. We have almost every kind of material from Alexandrite to Zircon and everything in between.
