THIS IS AN EXTREMELY "RARE" BLUE TO PURPLE COLOR CHANGER GARNET. I JUST GOT IT BACK FROM A LAB FOR I.D. I WANTED TO MAKE SURE IT WAS A TRUE BLUE GARNET. IT'S AN ALL NATURAL, NO TREATMENT OF ANY KIND GEM. IT IS ROYAL BLUE TO BRIGHT DEEP PURPLE. IT HAS GREAT CLARITY, AND LUSTER. BLUE GARNETS ARE THE RAREST COLOR OF GARNET. THIS STONE IS FINISH CUT TO 1ct. I HAVE READ A LOT ABOUT THE BLUE GARNETS, AND I HAVE FOUND THAT SOME ARE NOT VERY PRETTY. THIS ONE LOOKS LIKE A KASHMIR BLUE SAPPHIRE IN SOME LIGHT, AND A PURPLE MADAGASCARSAPPHIRE IN OTHER LIGHT. IT IS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFULIN ANY LIGHT. I PURCHASED6 KILOS OF GARNETS YEARS AGO FROM INDIA IN THE ROUGH. THERE WHERE 2 PIECES OF THIS COLOR ROUGH IN IT. THIS IS THE BIGGEST OF THE TWO. IT IS EYE CLEAN, BUT DOES HAVE A FEW SMALL FLAWS UNDER 10X MAGNIFICATION. THE TABLE HAS A GREAT CUT. IT HAS A SMALL FLAT SPOT ON THE PAVILION. THIS IS UNSEEN FROM THE TOP, AND NEEDS A 10X LOOP TO SEE IT FROM THE BOTTOM. IT WOULD MAKE AN EXCELLENT RING. THIS GARNET WILL BE A VALUABLE ADDITION TO ANY COLLECTION/INVESTMENT, OR MUSEUM QUALITYGEM. INCREDIBLE FIND.
