About a year ago, I bought a Mali garnet from a Thai based (non-ebay) vendor. The GIA gemset was supposed to be what I thought was greenish yellow with strong saturation, but it turned out to be very brown
, and looked nothing like the photo. In any case, it was too costly to return it, but I always wanted that greenish yellow neon color like that Mali was supposed to be. Well, I thought I''d try a chrysoberyl, and this one was very pretty. Here is the vendor video still. It''s got a camera shadow, but I love how the green just looks like it''s floating in the stone. 3.01 carats.
