I found a garnet - through a group on Facebook- that I just love. It looks very much like a padparadscha sapphire but is a color change garnet. It is a little over 5 ct. and he was asking $1,500 but I offered $800 and he accepted. I know prices are probably all over the place but any idea how to tell if it is a good deal or not?
