This thread is going to spur another spess buying frenzy! I know I want to get another one.

Hi Charmy! I just found a pic of your Spess Garnets and they''re beautiful! Have you set any of them yet?

Okay, I made a decision! I''m so excited... what do you guys think?

I found it at Daniel Stair at Custom Gemstones and Cindi apparently just cut it:

STONE: Spessartite Garnet
WEIGHT: 1.69 Cts.
CUT: Modified Round Brilliant
DIMENSIONS: 6.74 mm
ORIGIN: Nigeria
COLOR: Brighter Medium Orange
CLARITY: Very Good (Slight Inclusions, Generally Eye Clean)

Nice size! I find that Dan Stair''s photos show the stone a bit lighter than how the stone is IRL. So pay attention to his words. I haven''t seen anything in person cut by Cindi. I''m sure you''ll know if it''s a keeper when you open the box.

Of course you''ll open the box in a carpeted room over a soft surface!
