Lab Tsavorite

I just ordered this lab tsavorite-ish gem from Jeff Davies & Son. Only $197.

He is having a half price sale until October 30, if anyone is interested.

Precision Cut - 3.40ct LAB Vanadium YAG - Yttrium Aluminum Garnet - Pulled Czochralski

I love tsavorite garnets but a nice one in a decent sized mined one is just not in my budget, so I decided to go for it.

Beautiful! I have several very high quality synthetic stones from Jeff that I am super happy with.

I just got it but decided to get a larger one instead. My husband already packaged it up to return, unfortunately. But I will say it is gorgeous, a sparkly bright medium green.

I will definitely post pics of the new one.

It's here and I'm in love. Here's what I was able to capture on my iphone but it is a beautiful, sparkly bright green, as was the one I sent back when I decided I really wanted this larger one. It's better in person, more sparkly little facets and a little more blue-ish than the photos show. This and the one I sent back are both "vanadium" YAG, which appears to be the prettiest green to me, from the online photos. I'll definitely have this one set
