This listing is for the depicted loose gemstone that my student Indigo faceted in his workshop in Eaglenest, New Mexico
• 0.95 carats • 5.8mm in diameter and 4.3mm in depth • Cut in Indys Pentagonal design with a frosted star (Indy Faceted this one!) • Unheated/untreated • Naturally occurring • Garnet • Inclusions visible under magnification
Detailed Gem Description:
A natural and untreated garnet with a slightly reddish Purple hue, a medium tone, and strong saturation. Inclusions are visible with magnification.
See the last graphic for reference on how I graded these. To maintain originality, I made the reference graphics with gems of my own design but it is based on GIA's color description system.
Photos were taken in daylight with a blue sky overhead and under a microscope. The first two videos were taken in daylight with the sun overhead, a blue sky, and scattered clouds. The last few scenes in the second video are inside in passive lighting and under my overhead LED lights. The outdoor scenes in the third video were taken on an overcast day. Please review all the videos thoroughly.
